Let me summarize it to bring people in ML up-to-date.

There are 2 layouts:
1) greeter layout, switched via alt+shift
2) session layout, switched via combobox in UI

A. Right now they are completely independent e. g. switching 1) does not affect 2)
and vice versa.

B. As far as I understood bertagaz proposal - 1) should depend on 2) e. g. switching
2) will automatically trigger 1) but not vice versa.

In addition to those 2 opinions there are 3 more options:

C. 2) depend on 1), also one way
D. 1) depend on 2) and vice versa
E. always use 'us' as a default session layout and remove combobox for 2)

Which variant (A..E) looks best for you?
Maybe you could propose your own?

Please share your thoughts via emails or irc (max-gsoc).

Right now we have single vote for both A. and B. I'd like to gather more opinions
from TAILS devs and users before making any changes.

Doh!
Late night commits are evil.
Should be fixed now.
