I don't know whether lightdm, slim and/or wdm are affected (which is why
I haven't cloned the bug already). The situation to test is:
* have systemd as init
* install plymouth, gdm3 and your favourite non-GDM DM implementation
(kdm in the original bug report)
* select the non-GDM DM implementation as the active DM
* enable plymouth by putting "splash" on the kernel command-line
I reproduced this for kdm by starting from a fresh task-standard
installation in a VM and adding gdm3, kdm and plymouth. I haven't tested
the other DMs in the same configuration so far.
