A display manager should set this PAM env var when setting up a greeter session to "greeter" and this will then allow clients to distuingish greeter sessions from normal sessions. There's also the class "lock-screen". And there's the default of "user" which is used when this env var is not set. I have also spend some time in writing up what I already wrote in the earlier mail to you in the wiki: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/writing-display-managers It also explains that people should use XDG_SESSION_CLASS.
