Thanks for the reminder.

It turned out that what worked before the migration of GTK 3.12
doesn't work anymore. So it's more work that I thought, but I'll try
to get something working by the 14th. Help is welcome though.

It was also broken by the migration of 3.12. I'll fix it (or report why
I can't...) the 14th.

I can try to do that depending on how much time the greeter things take.
