This feature is just not implemented yet. It will be in Oneiric.
Good to know, Robert. Are you able to say something about e.g. the
keyboard layout and universal access?
This is an area where I'm definitely not an expert, and your help is
greatly appreciated here! Most of my knowledge has come from picking
Martin Pitt's brain and talking to others.
The keyboard design as I see it is:
- The layout is left as X sets it up
- Selecting a user switches to the keyboard layout they have configured
in their ~/.dmrc. If not present, keep the default layout
~/.dmrc won't be available if encrypted home directory is used, but that
is a detail really
- There will be a layout switcher, which will be applied to the .dmrc so
it is preserved on login
- Cancelling a login will revert to the default layout
The real difficulty is in making sure that I've handled all the keyboard
config correctly. I'm using libxklavier, I just need to know how many
config items to save/restore correctly.
With universal access the goal is "as much as we can get". The greeter
will probably be built with the same tech as Unity so as well as Unity.
Ideally we'll have full AT-SPI with Orca running if required and an
onscreen keyboard.
yeah, I would very much hope that lightdm does not introduce more
accessibility regressions. If the greeter uses the same tech as unity
then there might be challenges to get an on screen keyboard to type into
it (broken in Unity at the moment - you can't type into the unity text
input boxes from onboard)
