Public bug reported:
We expose the Greeter DBus API (whether we're active, which user is
selected, etc) on the root / DBus path. This can easily conflict with
other potential APIs (which are similarly rude as us to claim such a
path).
We should switch away from it. Potential clients right now:
- indicators
- test tools
- adb
- telephony stack
While switching, it may be wise to move to some more standard APIs as
well, like using logind's LockedHint instead of IsActive.
