* Correctly pass return value from sessions to LightDM.
* Retry VT_WAITACTIVE if we get EINTR.

Overview of changes in lightdm 1.19.2
* Add support for greeters running inside sessions. This is enabled by

The session can then use liblightdm to connect one greeter to the
daemon. The communication is done using a socket
(/var/run/lightdm/<user>/greeter-socket) that is accessible to any
process run by that user. Consider controlling access to this socket
using a MAC system such as AppArmor.

-listen tcp when required.

are specified then one is started. This can be overridden by setting
start-default-seat=false in [LightDM].
- Support setting autologin user to guest account
- Split the user accounts configuration into /etc/lightdm/users.conf so the
main config can be private.
- The default user session is now "default". Distributions should put a
symlink to their chosen default or set one in lightdm.conf.
- XDMCP keys now stored in keys.conf
* liblightdm API changes:
- Both libraries are now version 1 and have API and ABI guarantees.
- Face images are now local paths not URIs
- liblightdm-gobject now uses lightdm_ prefix instead of ldm_
- Non-greeter functions are now moved out of the Greeter class
- connect_to_server() is now called connect_sync and blocks until
completion.
- start_session() is now called start_session_sync and blocks until
completion. The quit signal is removed, and the greeter should quit if
this method returns TRUE.
- login() is now called authenticate()
- Greeters now have hints instead of configuration (greeters should load their
own configuration from /etc/lightdm if they need it).
- liblightdm-gobject uses AccountsService if it is available
- Added regression tests for liblightdm-qt
* D-Bus API changes:
- Expose Seats and Sessions on org.freedesktop.DisplayManager
- Add a CanSwitch property
- Rename ShowGreeter() to SwitchToGreeter()
* Greeter changes:
- Drop "example" from the name of the GTK+ and Qt greeters and make them
official default greeters.
- Use GTK3 for GTK+ greeter.
- Removed the Vala and Python GTK+ greeters, they weren't being well
