  gdmflexiserver compat issues

Bug description:
  Hey,

  I've discovered the gdmflexiserver compat layer in 0.9.3 and I'm not
  really sure it's really for prime time. First, it currently installs
  itself to /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm/gdmflexiserver, looks like there is
  a duplicate.

  Second, to be able to have this script called, it adds PKGLIBEXEC_DIR
  to the PATH. I don't think anything in /usr/lib should end up in the
  PATH, if the scripts has to be called, then it needs to be installed
  in the PATH, so make it /usr/bin. Yes that means conflicting with gdm,
  but you're not sure who will change the PATH later anyway so you're
  not sure /usr/bin won't be before that /usr/lib in the PATH.

  Right now, I'm not sure there's a perfect solution, but please at
  least fix the PATH issue.
