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.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1155157] Re: [FFe] Allow custom indicators
As for why it didn't land, no especially good reason. Between the lateness of the request from customers (it wasn't a known desire at UDS) and developers being busy, it landed only this week. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity-greeter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1155157 Title: [FFe] Allow custom indicators Status in “unity-greeter” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “unity-greeter” source package in Raring: New Bug description: I'd like to upload a new unity-greeter to raring with a new feature.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1155157] Re: [FFe] Allow custom indicators
As I mentioned on IRC, and adding here for posterity: The greeter has a session bus already. Things like the indicators use it. But the greeter's never exposed an interface on the bus before.
