Bug#904136: lightdm-gtk-greeter: Ayatana indicators aren't shown shown in lightdm-gtk-greeter
Hi Yves-Alexis.
We completely gave up on LightDM and migrated to GDM in the meanwhile
and I sadly forgot that this bug was still open. Hence I didn't post
an update to it that we are no longer interested in a fix. My bad.
I'm furthermore sorry that I won't be able to test your fix after
you've spend the effort to implement it. I hope someone else will find
this fix useful and might even be able to test it.
Best,
Michael
