Bug description:
  Impact
  ======
  A user who installs gnome-shell in Ubuntu 17.04 and earlier is asked to choose between gdm and lightdm. If the user chooses lightdm, the GNOME session will not have a lock button in the system status menu in the top right corner.

  Workaround
  ==========
  The keyboard shortcut Super+L still works to lock your screen.

  Test Case
  =========
  1. a. From Ubuntu GNOME 17.04, install unity-greeter. Choose lightdm as your default.
     b. Restart
     c. Log in to GNOME
     d. Click the far right of the top bar. Make sure that the lock button exists. Click it. Your screen should lock.

  Or
  1. a. From Ubuntu (Unity) 17.04, install ubuntu-gnome-desktop or gnome-shell. Choose lightdm as your default if asked.
     b. Restart
     c. Log in to GNOME
     d. Click the far right of the top bar. Make sure that the lock button exists. Click it. Your screen should lock.

  2. Make sure that the screen lock also still works if you use GDM
  instead.

  Regression Potential
  ====================
  This patch update just allows LightDM to lock the screen if GDM is not running.

  Other Info
  ==========
  GNOME didn't accept our LightDM patches when we proposed them a few years ago, so this will just need to be fixed in Ubuntu for now.
