Ah, okay.

So, the workaround for others:

  1. Ctrl-Alt-F2 to a terminal.
  2. Login.
  3. sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
  4. Comment out the line with greeter-session=lightdm-webkit2-greeter
  5. Create a new line with greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter
  6. Save your file.
  7. Run pacman -S lightdm-gtk-greeter

Those steps at least got me running again. I’m listing them here to help someone else who might stumble into this.
