Bug Description

After attempting to setup a fix (URL to explanation of fix below) which I had successfully used in quantal to display proper resolutions for multiple monitors in unity-greeter. In raring, the system crashes just after the ubuntu splash screen, and I had to return the lightdm.conf file to its original form from the terminal.
The fix worked just fine in precise and quantal. And I had hoped (and still do) that greeter will have the ability to detect and adjust for multiple displays in 13.04
