Bug description:
[Impact]
* Would allow system administrators to load custom indicators, and
allow one to control the active user
[Impact]
* This would improve the polish of unity greeter for kiosk/corporate
deployment
* This will allow admins to select the active entry on login screen ( such
as with smart card)
[Test Case]
* Edit dconf key "com.canonical.unity-greeter" using dconf-editor to load or
not load existing indicator .
[Regression Potential]
* I dont see any regression potential , as this unity-greeter is not linked
by any other application and this only adds a bus method.
* Worst case, user mis-configures (typo/invalid indicators) the indicators
to load and ends up without them.
[Other Info]

board/2013-May/001622.html
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd like to upload a new unity-greeter to raring with a new feature. 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.
