This looks like an excellent thing to document in the Lubuntu official docs or the wiki.

And I would like to add, that I use png files for transparence with lightdm. They work in users-admin (I just checked). Maybe some Lubuntu desktop specific program(s) won't manage png files, for example the greeter (I don't remember the name of it). The greeter that comes with standard Ubuntu shows png format .face files (and it uses lightdm).
