Description Ray Strode [halfline] 2011-09-15 16:42:21 UTC 
We don't hide the menu item for the keyboard layout viewer like we should.

The login screen is modal, so it doesn't make sense to show a menu item that launches a program the user can't interact with.

It does not make a great amount of sense to have this function
on the login screen. And worse, it does not work, since the greeter
is currently a modal dialog, so interaction with the opening
window is impossible.
