"Improve the GDM Login screen such that works better with multiple
simultaneous authentication stacks and can adapt the UI to the
currently used authentication method.

This will be accomplished by added a plugin framework to the GDM
greeter that has APIs for plugins to instigate independent PAM
conversations at the same time. Each plugin will be responsible for
shipping it's own PAM service file and UI for driving the PAM
conversation associated with that service file. Each plugin will also
have the ability to affect the behavior of the login screen in
response to external events (e.g., a smart card plugin might tell the
login screen to start the PAM smart card authentication stack in
response to a smart card getting inserted into the system)."

Cheerio,
Debarshi
