Starting near the end of last month, when I click “Different User” on the default Breeze for OpenSUSE sddm theme, sddm hangs until I ctrl+alt+backspace twice.
Dmesg shows:

I’m not sure if this is the result of an update that came down around then, or if my starting to use .face.icon files for users (which works fine as long as I don’t click “Different User”) broke things. I’m pretty sure it’s the former, since removing the .face.icon files didn’t fix things.
I’m seeing this on two boxes. The first is an AMD Ryzen 3 2200G with 8GB RAM. Clicking “Different User” on this box brings up a black screen that is hung, along with a segfault. The second box is a Intel i3 330M laptop with 8GB RAM. Clicking “Different User” on this machine immediately makes the user interface non-responsive without bringing up a black screen and generates a segfault. In this case, the mouse still moves around, but clicking, tabbing and typing have no effect.
On the main box (the AMD), I have ten users set up, with three hidden so that the user picker still comes up instead of having everyone need to enter their user name in addition to their password. So “Different User” has had a lot of use on that box since my account (the only technical user) was hidden.
Any suggestions on how to gather more debug information (and better yet, get a fix!) would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your help.
