Title:
  manpage & --help refer to non-existant --no-root option

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The manpage for lightdm refers to an option, --no-root, which I
  believe was replaced with --test-mode.  Check out the entry for
  --passwd-file below:

  mfisch@caprica:~$ man lightdm
  ...
         --test-mode
                Run  as  unprivileged  user,  skipping  things that require root
                access

         --passwd-file=FILE
                Use the given password file  for  authentication  (for  testing,
                requires --no-root)

  mfisch@caprica:~$ lightdm --no-root
  Unknown option --no-root
  Run 'lightdm --help' to see a full list of available command line options.

  mfisch@caprica:~/lightdm/lightdm-1.0.6$ lightdm --help
  ...
    --test-mode                         Run as unprivileged user, skipping things that require root access
    --passwd-file=FILE                  Use the given password file for authentication (for testing, requires --no-root)
