The instructions to create and install the patched copy of ldmgtkgreet posted by Suco still work, with a few minor changes:

1. sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev libgtk2.0-dev intltool libglib2.0-dev libtool automake
2. sudo apt-get source ldm
3. cd ldm-2.2.13/
4. wget https://launchpadlibrarian.net/226741553/greeter.c.1404
5. cp greeter.c.1404 gtkgreet/greeter.c
6. sh ./autogen.sh
7. ./configure --prefix=/usr LIBS=-lX11
8. make
9. cp /opt/ltsp/amd64/usr/lib/ldm/ldmgtkgreet
9. cp /opt/ltsp/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ldm/ldmgtkgreet /opt/ltsp/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ldm/ldmgtkgreet.bak
10. cp gtkgreet/ldmgtkgreet /opt/ltsp/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ldm/
11. ltsp-update-image

There were changes made to greeter.c since Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, mostly related to language support. So, it would appear that this package is still being maintained. Does anyone know why they would not roll the changes that we have proposed to greeter.c in to the upstream package? Perhaps this is not the correct place to report the issue and the maintainers are unaware of the problem? Can anyone point me to a better place to get this resolved?

Thanks!
