Comment (by jdreed):
OK, this turned out to be nowhere near as terrible as it could have been.
r25494 contains a preliminary greeter, written in Python and Gtk+3 with
Gobject introspection. This allows us to recycle a lot of code from gdm-
config/pieces-of-flair, etc. One of the benefits of us "owning" the
greeter is that we can do away with a lot of terrible hacks, since we can
check the validity of usernames, check for updates in progress, etc.
