LightDM GTK+ Greeter 2.0.4 Released
With improvements for accessibility, cursor theme options, and the resolution to a years-old bug, LightDM GTK+ Greeter 2.0.4 is a long-awaited release for every user.

What’s New?
New Feature
- Added
cursor-theme-name
andcursor-theme-size
configuration keys. Prior to this update, users had to change the default X11 cursor to change it for the login screen.
Build Changes
- Finished the port from
gnome-common
. There were come leftover bits that were causing build failures with the latest Ubuntu release. - Moved additional deprecated function calls to
greeterdeprecated.c/.h
so full debug builds remain functional.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed
autologin-session
configuration (LP: #1707186) - Fixed accessibility with
at-spi-bus
on systemd and non-systemd environments (LP: #1366534, #1670933) - (Finally!) fixed the infinite flicker that would happen occasionally for users with multiple monitors (LP: #1410406, #1509780)
