Bug description:
  On Ubuntu GNOME we ship gdm by default, however nvidia-prime depends
  on lightdm. This means that

  1. Anyone installing nvidia binary drivers will pull in nvidia-prime and subsequently lightdm. As a consequence of this they are also going to get the potentially confusing dconf pop-up asking them to choose a DM.
  2. nvidia-prime probably won't work when using gdm

  I haven't looked to closely at how deeply integrated this is with
  lightdm, however we particularly don't want #1 happening, and it would
  be nice if #2 worked.
