Public bug reported:
On Ubuntu GNOME we ship gdm by default, however nvidia-prime depends on
lightdm. This means that
1. Anyone installing nvidia binary drivers will pull in nvidia-prime and
subsequently lightdm. As a consequence of this they are also going to get the
potentially confusing dconf pop-up asking them to choose a DM.
2. nvidia-prime probably won't work when using gdm
I haven't looked to closely at how deeply integrated this is with
lightdm, however we particularly don't want #1 happening, and it would
be nice if #2 worked.
