Hi, thanks for that!

40 + is_greeter = (class && 0 == strncmp(class, XDG_SESSION_CLASS_GREETER,
41 + sizeof XDG_SESSION_CLASS_GREETER));
This can be more simply done with:
is_greeter = g_strcmp0 (class, XDG_SESSION_CLASS_GREETER) == 0;

58 + if (!is_greeter) {
59 + /* Open the session */
60 + result = pam_open_session (pam_handle, 0);
You should still open a PAM session for the greeter, why not?

73 - /* Wait for the command to complete (blocks) */
You seem to have accidentally removed a comment :(

76 + if (!is_greeter) {
Braces start on a new line

86 + if (remote_host_name) {
87 + strncpy (ut.ut_host, remote_host_name, sizeof (ut.ut_host));
88 + } else {
89 + memset (ut.ut_host, 0, sizeof (ut.ut_host));
90 + }
Don't need braces for single line branches

Because if we don't, we can stack pam_lastlog as a session module in order to record user sessions to wtmp and lastlog. I could comment that, though.

It's actually just been moved closer to the wait call :) line 101 in the diff

I'll try to get around to fixing the rest later today.
