** Description changed:

- The User object in liblightdm doesn't provide a method to get the user
- ID. This means you have to use getpwnam to get this if you want it, even
- though liblightdm already knows the value. It would be nice to have an
- API to get this directly.
+ [Impact]
+ The LightDM user list provided to greeters via liblightdm doesn't have a 
method to access the user ID. This requires a greeter that might need this 
information to do a second lookup to get it.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 1. Write a greeter that needs the user ID
+ Expected result:
+ Can do it.
+ Observed result:
+ Can't do it.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Low, the information was already in liblightdm, we just now expose it. Tested 
with regression tests.
