Thanks for taking care of that.

You're probably already aware of that, but this will require "special
care" from gdm/lightdm/$dm if your session relies on the xdg base dir
spec for its default config (with the 60x11-common_xdg_path script in
x11-common), with /etc/xdg/xdg-default instead of the expected
/etc/xdg/xdg-${dereferenced_symlink_name}...

(Anyway, we don't have a guest session in xubuntu, so we'll still need
to ship a custom lightdm.conf to disable it.)

Title:
  Please let vendors easily provide their own config

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: lightdm

  Hi,

  Could you register lightdm.conf in the alternatives system? This would
  let derivatives set another default config easily (as done with gdm),
  and avoid the dpkg-divert nightmare that is going with gdm3.

  (currently, daily builds of xubuntu don't start any session because
  lightdm tries to start gnome which doesn't exist...)

  Thanks.
