[Bug 1064269] Re: When running lightDM user switching doesnt work

[Michael Terry]

jbicha re-enabled the patch for raring (in raring-proposed), and I just
uploaded to quantal-proposed for an SRU.  So I'll un-subscribe ubuntu-
sponsors.

** Description changed:

- When running lightDM, the "Switch User" option under the gnome-shell
- User Menu, does not work. Clicking on this does nothing, since its
- trying to call a gdm function which obviously doesnt exist when lightDM
- is running.
+ [Impact]
+ Can't "switch user" from inside GNOME Shell when using lightdm.  This is broken high-visibility functionality.
  
+ [Test Case]
+ * Log into GNOME Shell
+ * Click on the User Menu
+ * Select Switch User
+ 
+ Nothing happens, but the expectation is that lightdm would appear.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Light.  We already had this patch in before during quantal, but then it got accidentally dropped.
+ 
+ [Original Report]
