I think this can become troublesome when you need to change things like
autologin.  For example ubquity will write out the autologin settings to
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and any userspace tool for changing these
settings would likely be looking there too.

So if this solution is accepted, then those tools will all need to be
adjusted too.

I think a better solution would be to allow lightdm to parse the
standard conf by default, and then parse the vendor conf for any
"override" values for things in the standard conf.  That keeps all other
tools just having to look at a single file.
