In fact, the work is already done, in GDM: it already features
separation between the daemon and a slave process (gdmgreeter or
gdmlogin) that asks for the login/password. That would require hacking
their code so that they only ask for the password, and to disable some
features (menus or buttons), but it would have the major advantage to
look exactly the same as the login manager.

Any thoughts?
