Hi list,
I migrated my old GtkBuilder-based LightDM greeter to LightDM 0.9.x APIs.
Now it works well again with the latest LightDM.
It's still GTK+ 2 based. Migration to gtk3 will begin along with other LXDE
components later.

The source code is here:
git://lxde.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/lxde/ldm-gtk-builder-greeter

Main features:
1. Highly themable and much more flexible than the gtk greeter built into
lightdm.
2. Works with gtk2 (so we don't need gtk3 for the login manager)
3. Possible to port old gdm themes to this.

Things don't work:
1. Language selection feature is REMOVED from LightDM, so there is no way to
support this anymore. We're still discuss with upstream authors about this
regression.
2. The themes cannot be edited with Glade when GTK+ 3 is used.

Please take some time to test if the new greeter works for you. Thanks.
I think is a nice alternative to the built-in one provided by LightDM.
