Hi Robert,

>From a Xubuntu point of view (as a non-developer), I'd like to stress the
importance of attention to accessibility and internationalization, which are
of great importance to a display manager (and traditionally to Ubuntu). (Is
this perhaps already a feature due to the greeter being able to be written
in GTK?)
