[Bug 1263469] Re: [backport-request] 12.04.4 needs a newer version of lightDM-KDE

[Flames_in_Paradise]

Having taken a brief look at the buglist in KDE

https://bugs.kde.org/component-report.cgi?product=lightdm

leaves me with impression that Kubuntu 12.04 would benefit from the
situation that bugfixes would get incorporated in by an upgraded
version.

plz read on:
...  This fixes only the _single_ graphics card use case ...
...  (hybrid graphics won't still work without lightdm) ...

I cannot test it in full since the HWE-Stack-saucy is not completed yet.
So far it'll be necessary to logout from a running session in order to acivate the e.g. Nvidia dGPU / Intel-iGPU, LightDM will restart the X-System automatically. Even though I would personnaly agree to favour KDM it fails here and we've got to use STRG+backspace.

proof of concept: http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/post/6221157/ (dated  24. Dezember 2013 10:55)
A similar test could be provided with the current Alpha-1 of 14.04 in order to let u see the disappointing result wt KDM on a Nvidia-Hybrid Graphics System (aka Optimus).

I am only asking for the change in order to keep the high level of
Kubuntu with the coming change as refered to in comment #1 above.
