Title: Does not set PAM_XDISPLAY and or XDISPLAY, XAUTHORITY variables Status in Light Display Manager: Fix Committed Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Bug description: If a PAM module with GUI interface for alternative authentication methods (like fingerprint authentication) is used, this module needs information about the xdisplay to connect to for showing up it's widget. Therefore PAM has two enviroment variables to be setup by the application before calling the "pam_authenticate" function. These variables are PAM_XDISPLAY and PAM_TTY, both to be set to the current display number (e.g. ":0"). Alternatively the environment variables XDISPLAY and XAUTHORITY can be set, so the PAM module can get the information by calling "getenv()".
