Lightdm 0.9.2 uploaded in oneiric today has added support for what Martin described. Thanks, that's appreciated. :)

Unfortunately, this upload introduced new issues: - /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf is not shipped anymore by lightdm, but apparently hasn't been cleaned on upgrades with rm_conffile, so it's still here for existing oneiric systems... - a new conffile has been introduced /etc/lightdm/users.conf. Hopefully we won't need to change it per derivative? Otherwise we're back to the same issue, again... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/799754 Title: Please let vendors easily provide their own config To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/799754/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
