Comment 16 for bug 818201

> Yves-Alexis, what is wrong with accountsservice? It's a freedesktop prokject with desktop specific depends. Not that lightdm fallbacks to standard methods and don't hard depends on it

Well, the problem is that AccountsService is not really suited for network logins since it stores the session and language selection to /var/lib/AccountsService/users which is a local directory whereas saving it to ${HOME}/.dmrc makes the settings available on any login computer.

Currently, lightdm is completely broken when it comes to loading the last session on a network, even with version 1.4.0. It simply doesn't work.

Honestly, it's frustrating that many upstream developers of desktop components like the display manager always seem to completely ignore everything which goes beyond single-user or single-machine systems.
