Note that F16 and F17 use gdm.
lightdm was not available at the time they were created, and Fedora
does not (officially) respin releases once they are made.
Lightdm 1.2.2-15 here (and gtk greeter 1.1.6-3), working fine.
I found some little issues, like if you have an open session in a
console terminal and try to shutdown from the lightdm greeter it will
just get stuck there (instead of giving a warning and an option to
cancel). Also it sorts the users and session alphabetically (first
capitals then small case) and apparently we can't define a default
user/session (it always boots selected with the first on the list for
both user and session).
I wonder if that will be a stopper for us with the live media. I guess
not, since liveuser should be the only one showing up there hopefully.
Also xguest (testing package without dependency on gdm) didn't
work
when I tried but it might be that it just doesn't work if not with
GNOME (I have limited space to test all alternatives but the xguest
creator said he would have a look on that).
Yeah, it will likely take time to work all the bugs out. ;(
