Thanks for the response Andrew.
I guess i'll try to backport the feature myself.

It is sad that the GTK2 greeter was dropped.

Do you have any idea of what the chances are that GTK3 major version updates would break the greeter?
I realise on time-based releases like Ubuntu it's less of a concern, but In something like Arch the greeter will suddenly get a new GTK3 major version dropped in place potentially prior to you having adequate time to test the greeter against it.

I'm on the Manjaro Linux team and we were about to swap our main edition to the GTK2 greeter, but if it's development has stopped we maybe should look at other options...
We're wary of GTK3-based display managers after we watched MDM break when GTK 3.12 was released.
