Public bug reported:
We talked about this in person in Prague.
Ideally a greeter could run as in the user's session and act as a
lockscreen for the user as well as a way to authenticate/log-in as other
users.
This would let us avoid running a whole other session for the greeter on
the phone, which is memory intensive.
It might be easiest for unity8 if that API was still just liblightdm,
just running in a special mode. But I'm not picky on how it's done.
There may be security questions around this. I asked Jamie and Tyler
about it, I'll post any concerns from them.
