** Changed in: unity
       Status: New => In Progress

   Importance: Undecided => High

** Description changed:

  Use Unity Greeter to fulfil lock screen as well as login functions.
  
  Desired Solution:
  - Replace the current lock screen with the Unity Greeter
  - perhaps use 'light locker', see http://www.webupd8.org/2013/08/lightdm-session-locker-light-locker.html
  - also see https://plus.google.com/u/0/106086509626546157534/posts/5hQVYARYCkh
  
  [FFe]
- This is a FFe to implement in unity a lockscreen that looks like unity-greeter. At the moment
- gnome-screensaver is disabled by default and would be nice to have a lockscreen for this LTS.
+ This is a FFe to implement in unity a lockscreen that looks like unity-greeter inside unity.
+ 
+ The code for unity was ready before FF, but to improve PAM support we had to delay it
