** Description changed:

  We expose the Greeter DBus API (whether we're active, which user is
  selected, etc) on the root / DBus path.  This can easily conflict with
  other potential APIs (which are similarly rude as us to claim such a
  path).
  
  We should switch away from it.  Potential clients right now:
  
  - indicators
  - test tools
  - adb
  - telephony stack
  - mtp stack
  - push stack
  - maliit
  - messaging app (?)
+ - SDK (unlocks device when deploying apps)
  
  While switching, it may be wise to move to some more standard APIs as
  well, like using logind's LockedHint instead of IsActive.
