Hi all,

- GDM is undergoing a security check to be included in main [1].
- We've got GNOME Shell onto the 17.10 image, running under LightDM.
- We've attempted to get the GNOME Shell lock screen running with LightDM
and using GNOME Shell as a LightDM Greeter. Which this still s
(I know the question wasn't directly relevant to this thread but it's
worth clearing up...)
Mir /was/ going to support remote desktops eventually. Just as Gnome
Shell on Wayland will (if not already) support them. The functionality
might not be complete yet, but that's just because it's still

GDM could default to VT7 if we really wanted to, but why should it
except for tradition?
I think it's easier for users to start counting at 1 rather than 7.

I did some testing in a VM with switching different flavors to/from
the default dm. Mostly I found that my current VM setup isn't stable
(it's my own virt package I'm working on).
But I did also see:
Lubuntu -> gdm, Lock screen now falls to black screen
Gnome -> Lightdm, Wayland failed on the fir
