gnome/lightdm

[Hendrik Greving]

I was able to get unity working again (I installed ubuntu-desktop) and
somehow got it working. However, it looks a little bit different. Is there
an easy way to get the ubuntu 13.10 defaults again? (e.g. I liked the
terminal configurations and the background and the window themes.)
