I propose these 2 patches mostly as a "proof of concept". They enable the user to cancel autologin by just clicking on the background. Surely it could be done much better, with, say, a button somewhere stating "Cancel autologin", but I'm not a coder. Anyway I do propose these patches to hopefully get some attention on this issue which makes lightdm-gtk-greeter mostly unusable in one of its main purposes (switching user) when autologin timeout is set to low values, like 5 seconds or so.
