Bug Description

Please backport lightdm-gtk-greeter 1.8.5 to trusty.

[Impact]
* This release fixes a critical bug that prevents new users from logging in, as well as minor annoyances.
  * Fix tooltips stealing focus (LP: #1307764)
  * Fix get_session to not get corrupted (LP: #1311933
  * Fix "zoomed" implementation to correctly place the wallpaper, matching xfce and other desktop zoomed functionality
  * Updated translations

[Test Case]
1. Modify /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf:
show-indicator=~power

2. Create a new user
useradd -m -g users newlyaddeduser && passwd -d newlyaddeduser

3. Log in with the new user. Login should be successful.

4. Modify /var/lib/AccountsService/users/<username>
XSession=default

5. Log in with the new user again. Login should again be successful.

[Regression Potential]
* There is little regression potential as this is merely a bugfix release.

[Other Info]
* Users affected by the critical bug will be able to successfully log in without modifying any settings.
* Attached is a debdiff for a no-change backport.

I've removed the verification-needed tag as the package does not yet exist in the -proposed repository for Trusty so can not be verified yet.

Hello Sean, or anyone else affected,

Accepted lightdm-gtk-greeter into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm-gtk-greeter/1.8.5-1ubuntu2~ubuntu14.04.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!
