Title:
  Support a user-session mode for authenticating

Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  We talked about this in person in Prague.

  Ideally a greeter could run as in the user's session and act as a
  lockscreen for the user as well as a way to authenticate/log-in as
  other users.

  This would let us avoid running a whole other session for the greeter
  on the phone, which is memory intensive.

  It might be easiest for unity8 if that API was still just liblightdm,
  just running in a special mode.  But I'm not picky on how it's done.

  There may be security questions around this.  I asked Jamie and Tyler
  about it, I'll post any concerns from them.
