Because of bug #982889 , the lightdm is starting now later, when the event "plymouth-ready" is emitted.

In order to provide a better user experience, I think we could provide a fake plymouth-theme which would update the lightdm greeter.

The login screen would appear faster for the user.

For the progress information, the graphical element could appear one after the other, step after step. For example :

  1. background
  2. top panel
  3. top panel with a few buttons
  4. top panel with last buttons
  5. login invite

Each graphical element could appear when it is available (for example, the hostname when the hostname has been configured, etc).

Frankly, I don't think we'll address this issue in the 1.8 series. With lightdm-gtk-greter 1.9 we'll do away with Gtk2 and then things will become simpler and Gtk3 should handle the loading of the components directly, as they will all be embedded in a single window (as opposed to various windows that are loaded after each other now).
