[UIFE] Update to version 0.0.6

Request to documentation team:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-doc/2011-September/016137.html
Same message was sent to the translators but is stuck in the moderation queue.

Subscribed documentation and translation teams.

> - Addition of an a11y menu item

Yes please, fixes functional regression.

> - Change of login box background texture
> - Alignment of elements to grid (was incorrectly not aligned before)
> - Position and transparency of OS label

Deferring to signoff from documentation team.

> -Removal of the "Other..." item

How else do you log in as a different user then? Please keep this for now, until it has a replacement.

> - Renaming of "Guest Account" to "Guest Session" to match desktop

Pending ack from translators, but I'd welcome the fix as "session" makes more sense than "account" here, and consistency FTW.

Setting to incomplete until doc/translators ack this.

Is there a PPA I can use to test that new version of the greeter?

I'm concerned about the changes to the login box and the logo as it's two things I spent quite a bit of time tweaking (changing our wallpaper) so that it looks good for Edubuntu.
I most likely won't have time or even want to change our wallpaper or logo again this cycle, so I'd like to make sure this change won't regress our UI (the screenshots look fine for Ubuntu but want to make sure anyway).

Thanks

David already +1'ed it on the Ubuntu Translators mailing list since we
had been warned by Robert during this week.
So, from the translator it is OK.

Also doc team +1'ed it always in the mailing list.

The thread is here:

Ciao.

As Milo said, +1 from translations

Thanks. Waiting for doc team's opinion then, and Stephane's edubuntu background review.

I already ok'd this for the Doc Team on the mailing list. Thanks!

Hmm, I still haven't got an answer to my question... where can I get that new unity-greeter to test it on Edubuntu?
The test should just take me a few minutes but I need the package for that, a PPA would be great or just a binary build for amd64.

Here's the old unity-greeter on Edubuntu.

And with the new unity-greeter.
All the text is still readable and the changes to the logo are minimal (slightly less visible but still fine).

The removal of "Other" is bug 844039.

This bug was fixed in the package unity-greeter - 0.0.7-0ubuntu1
