[Regression Potential] * I dont see any regression potential , as this unity-greeter is not linked by any other application and this only adds a bus method. * Worst case, user mis-configures (typo/invalid indicators) the indicators to load and ends up without them. [Other Info] * https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/technical- board/2013-May/001622.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'd like to upload a new unity-greeter to raring with a new feature. System administrators have been requesting the ability to add new custom indicators to the greeter. And to be able to control the greeter slightly with those indicators. In trunk, we've added support for this in two ways: * Have the list of loaded indicators be controlled by a gsettings variable under the lightdm user, which system administrators can customize. * Add a session DBus interface to the greeter to allow switching which user is selected. This is only available to the greeter session bus, not on the system bus. Note that these features are not used by default, they'd only be used if an administrator specifically chose to use them.
