@padfoot You are right,and your solution is working well for xfce. Gnome users would use gdm instead,so they don't have the problem. :)

@dgbaley27 Yes, the intended behaviour is to use users.conf when accountsservice is not present, yet my install does not do that. Users.conf is completely ignored. I had to change the uid of users to be hidden to <500 for them to no longer display.

lightdm uses accountsservice if available. It falls back to users.conf if it has to. It never uses both. I have added a wishlist item to lightdm to allow users.conf to be used no matter what. As far as accountsservice goes, I think they changed it from a min uid to just a blacklist. It's really dumb. People keep writing these stupid DBus daemons and don't provide any flat config files.

@pomhg, you are right, but it is a combination of the 2. I changed my uid for lightdm and mpd to <500 and they still displayed in the lightdm list. I use Xfce, so my only requirement for accountsservice is lightdm. I rebuilt without the accountsservice dependency, removed accountsservice and then the uid's < 500 no longer showed. Now, without accountsservice, I changed to uid's to >500 but <1000, and they displayed again. So there is a problem with accountsservice, but there is also a problem with lightdm as it seems to ignore the users.conf file (defaults to hide uid's <1000), where lightdm actually hides uid's <500. So I have my solution, no accountsservice and uid's <500 for those to be hidden. Although this will not work for Gnome users, as accountsservice is required.

@padfoot I think the problem is AccountsService. On my machine as long as AccountsService is installed,even mpd whose uid is 45 by default is also displayed in the userlist of LightDM.

It seems it's required to have dbus up and running for lightdm to work - at least, I got a blank screen everytime I tried to start up lightdm until I started up dbus. Can this be added to the wiki page?

As far as accountsservice goes, the real problem is the damn thing has no configuration options. Just because it's a dbus daemon doesn't mean it can't have a flat config file in /etc. In any event, I put in a request: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/976554 so +1 it or whatever they do on launchpad.

@morfeo May I suggest you change the uid of the lightdm user to <500 so the lightdm user is not displayed in the user list at login. Also, accountsservice is not a required dependency. It would be better suited as an optdepend. Cheers.

Ok, for heaven's sake.. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=58707

That's your opinion. I don't see why upstream would be opposed to supporting alternate xsessions locations. For now it's just not high priority and would require some rework to get a separate list for each user (or generate a new list each time a new user is selected). This could get complicated when typing an unlisted user.
