Dear release team, I would like to add some fixes to the sddm currently in stretch. The fixes are (sorted in decreasing severity): + Fix #853843 regression for radeon. The current version of sddm 0.14.0 in stretch triggers a HiDPI QT5 bug (#857648) in some video cards, which results in a regression for some users of the 0.13.0 version. In order to fix this I've added an upstream patch that adds a configuration option for the HiDPI support [1], and also set the option to false by default, that way we avoid the regression. + Create the home dir if not present (postinst). sddm postrm doesn't try to stop the daemon on purge, as, being a display manager, it would probably end the user session by doing so. As a result, on purge, deluser refuses to delete the system user that's being used, but the postrm will happily delete the sddm's homedir. This causes that reinstalling sddm after a purge will end up with no homedir, which is needed for the normal behavior of sddm. + Drop the forced pam_systemd.so rules from the pam rules (#850006) + Fix #856195, user facing issue, using the wrong "uri" to check the existence of the avatars files [2]. The version of sddm 0.14.0-4 is currently in sid and has already build in all the release architectures. I'm attaching the debdiff from the version 0.14.0-2 currently in testing against the requested version 0.14.0-4 currently in unstable.
