Hide the user menu in the GDM greeter lock screen (1.21 KB, patch)

Description Giovanni Campagna 2012-09-10 09:32:10 UTC 
Go to the gdm greeter, wait 10 minutes, the screen fades. When restored, there will be a locked user menu in the top left.

What's happening? The lock-screen sessionMode has a user menu there, and we're creating and showing it.
Preventing the creation of new panel elements (like we do for components) fixes the user menu, but hides the lockScreenMenu too.

No patches attached, I have no idea how to solve it, without the "tri-state booleans" from bug 682542, which I managed to remove in the latest iteration of the patch.

For reference, this is the tri-state boolean version.

Sheesh. While I'd hate to have a relative system like panel: { right: ['-userMenu'] } because it's so complicated, maybe it's the right thing to do...

Or maybe split out gdm-lock-screen and user-lock-screen or something.

This is fine for now, of course.
