0001-Add-disable-fallback-greeter-configure-option.patch

Subject: [PATCH] Add --disable-fallback-greeter configure option

See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=672943

This pairs with the above commit; it allows operating system
builders to entirely disable the fallback greeter, and rely
on software GL.

At the moment we keep this a configure option since some consumers of
GDM are using the fallback greeter.

Testing this now for gnome-ostree in nested virt; I think this will help a lot with the smoketest woes, since it very consistently hits the fallback greeter, but that's not what I want.

I don't believe in distcheck myself, but I did fix one bug in the patch that would break it (adding the new file to EXTRA_DIST).

Fixed.
