Defaults to wrong user

This is a decision of the greeter. So we have a few greeters to fix:
- The GTK+ and Qt greeters that come with LightDM - should have the same behaviour
- Unity Greeter - The design asks for the last logged in user to be selected

I think the default greeters should also use the "last logged in" priority.

For comparison, GDM ordered users by frequency of login (which was confusing as the order changed all the time).

Ubuntu is getting worse day by day - don't know why this is a low priority. If you choose a user by default, then choose only the last logged in user(like windows), otherwise do not choose a default, let the user choose one(like Mac). Choosing the wrong user is confusing and driving me crazy. This would be a deal breaker for many for sure.

I have this problem too, it's very annoying, since I have to choose my user each time, even if I use this computer 99% of the time, but I am not the first in alphabetical order at least.

@Robert Ancell: yes, that's confusing a bit, but still better than this behaviour, well everything is better than this behaviour (since I guess it's not the most common case to have so much users on a personal desktop computer which causes problem to find a user when it is not ordered well). However, you are right, and I guess, it's nice that lightdm orders the users in alphabetical every time. Then only one thing is needed: let lightdm to be "focused" on the last logged in user, and that's fine: we have always ordered list, but also the feature to have the last logged in user by default. Everybody is happy :) imho ....
