- lightdm.conf is sensitive to trailing whitespace

+ 1. Set a boolean configuration value in lightdm.conf to true_ (_ is a space

- greeter-hide-users=true_
+ Observed result:
+ The configured value is interpreted as false.
- where the _ in the second example represents a trailing space. Without
- the space, the greeter hides the list of users as I expected. With the
- space, the greeter displays the list of users as if the greeter-hide-
- users parameter is not set to true.
+ [Regression potential]
+ Low. We just strip trailing whitespace when checking for the value "true".
