Comment 8 for bug 1667113

So while I understand to unify code paths by relying on accoutnsservice lightdm needs to get back the feature of "hidden-shells=" IMHO.

So in some sense this is a regression in lightdm due to the change to use accountsservice.

The solution clearly extceeds my Dbus-foo, but shouldn't lightdm be able to get back "hidden-shells" by implementing a filter on the "Shell" property of each user that accountsservice provides?

Maybe this was discussed in the lightdm/accountsservice communities - I'm not part of them and search engines didn't find it for me - but given how often the question how to hid users came up I'd think some discussion on the shell filtering might already exist.

Waiting for the expertise of the triagers of lightdm/accountsservice on that bug now.
