Please backport lightdm-gtk-greeter 1.8.5 to trusty.

[Impact]
* This release fixes a critical bug that prevents new users from logging in, as well as minor annoyances.
  * Fix tooltips stealing focus (LP: #1307764)
  * Fix get_session to not get corrupted (LP: #1311933
  * Fix "zoomed" implementation to correctly place the wallpaper, matching xfce and other desktop zoomed functionality
  * Updated translations


[Test Case]
1. Modify /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf:
show-indicator=~power

2. Create a new user
useradd -m -g users newlyaddeduser && passwd -d newlyaddeduser

3. Log in with the new user. Login should be successful.

4. Modify /var/lib/AccountsService/users/<username>
XSession=default

5. Log in with the new user again. Login should again be successful.


[Regression Potential]
* There is little regression potential as this is merely a bugfix release.


[Other Info]
* Users affected by the critical bug will be able to successfully log in without modifying any settings.
* Attached is a debdiff for a no-change backport.
