On further recollection (when changing my lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf file), I remembered I set the active-monitor param as a long-shot based on bug 1426664, which did nothing.
Reporting back on #2 and #3 of Andrew's queries. #2. When I switch VT's and then back, the background shows #3. When disabling the image and setting a colour, it works as expected on initial boot. As a side note, I have never seen a RED so eyeball burning on such a large surface area. One other thing has just clicked in my head. I half-expected an xubuntu splash screen to show on system boot (like on shutdown), but I don't see that. Instead I have a black screen on load, a 'flicker' which shows multi-coloured lines, and then the greeter sans-background (now with more RED).
