Comment 1 for bug 883908

The linked branch contains code that should mostly solve this bug. I couldn't get it to actually work, but that's likely because I don't know how to hack on this project in particular or Vala in general. Hopefully it'll serve as a good start, or else hopefully someone can provide more details about why it didn't work.

To test, I did the following:

./autogen.sh --prefix=/some/local/prefix
make
make install
vi $prefix/etc/lightdm/unity-greeter.conf # set draw-grid to false
$prefix/sbin/unity-greeter --test-mode
