Package: lightdm
Version: 1.2.2-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I'm trying to get a script to run PRE-login on two XFCE Debian testing 
systems.

The script in question is another Debian package: synergy

Synergy allows me to share a keyboard and mouse between the two 
computers. One acts as the server and the other as the client. Synergy 
works just fine POST-login, however I can't get it to work with lightdm.

According to multiple sources online (this is one: 
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynergyHowto#Autostart_Synergy_before_logging_in_.28LightDM.29)

All I have to do is add this line to my /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file:

-Server: greeter-setup-script=/usr/bin/synergys
-Client: greeter-setup-script=/usr/bin/synergyc <SERVER HOSTNAME>

Unfortunately this doesn't work. The mouse and keyboard are not shared. 
>From another VT, there's no associated process with synergy when looking 
either on the server nor on the client.

According the online source provided, this works just fine in Ubuntu. It 
seems like the script is not executed at all. Is there a way to debug 
this?

Thanks

Andres
