Hi Matthias,

I'm the maintainer of accountsservice for Debian and this is to bring Debian's
bug#635168 [1] up to your attention.

Some Debian powerpc users have noticed accountsservice prevents them to see
more than one user (the one with the highest UID) in gdm3 login window and
then complain that they have to select "Other" and manually type the username
they want to login as.

This issue is specific to the powerpc architecture and the following patch
seems to be a good fix:

diff -up -ru accountsservice-0.6.15.orig/src/user.c 
accountsservice-0.6.15/src/user.c
--- accountsservice-0.6.15.orig/src/user.c      2012-02-07 10:09:11.000000000

                                        (gint64) user->uid);

         return object_path;

Thanks in advance for any reply, hope to hear from you soon!
