I reconfirmed the two problems with the latest updates today:

ii  lightdm                               1.8.3-1 
   amd64        simple display manager
ii  lightdm-gtk-greeter                   1.6.1-3 
   amd64        simple display manager (GTK+ greeter)

Sorry, I do not know how to do this. I can see it running.

No, there are no local configuration changes. I am using a custom 
~/.config/xfce4/xinitrc but all it adds is some xrandr and path changes.

I tested the greeter hang again and it is a pure timeout. The greeter 
appears after about 25 seconds with no console switching or mouse 
activity required.

Downgrading to 1.6.3-1 from testing fixes both the greeter hang and the 
disabled xfce shutdown button (Action Buttons widget). The downgrade of 
lightdm was the only change required to achieve this fix.

Confirmed. This is the same behaviour.

Kind regards,
