I believe the comment was that we shouldn't enable it by default unless
we take care of the usability issues with network manager, which I
believe we've done. Marc, could you clarify?

I didn't discuss the remote login feature. What does turning this on mean exactly?
Perhaps this was mentioned in an MIR audit?

Added Jamie to review as we're unclear on the requirements. We'd like to have the remote-login dialog show by default in the greeter. This merge would enable it by default.

Jamie said to turn it on and we'll see from there. This branch is also obsolete, now that the key to control remote login is in lightdm (where it's on by default now).
