Allow testing GDM login dialog from the session (2.17 KB, patch)

Description Giovanni Campagna 2012-09-10 13:51:35 UTC 
Check an environment variable, GDM_GREETER_TEST. If 1, LoginDialog will
skip anything that fails outside a GDM session.
It is therefore possible to test the GDM greeter without installing it
system-wide, by attempting login as the already logged in user (uses the
same code path as the unlock dialog).

Hey, any chance this could be merged?
It is uncomfortable to cherry-pick this to each and every branch...

If it helps you, looks quite reasonable to me!

I'd prefer the lack of testing against the "1". Just having the envvar set should be enough.

Too late, I just pushed it. Sorry.
