lightdm.authenticate() without a username does not cause a prompt

[TLATER]

As the title says, simply calling lightdm.authenticate() does not appear to cause a prompt process to start - although the documentation states that it should prompt for a user. Neither the registered show_prompt is called nor does anything happen when lightdm.respond is called.

Looking at the definition of that method here and the relevant gi reference this does seem to be intended to work - I don't know enough about the bridging interface to tell if perhaps some type conversion is breaking this.

This all is using RC 2 for version 3.0.0, I don't believe any changes were made to the login process since?

A workaround for now is to manually check against the user list, which isn't too bad, I suppose (does screw with my architecture though, grr).

That's odd. It should work. The simple theme also uses the prompt flow. Does that theme work for you on your system?

[TLATER]

Gah, sorry for not replying sooner, didn't realize there was a response.

Having tried the simple theme, it actually comes up with lightdm is not defined - an issue in itself, but I haven't seen that happen to any other theme, so probably not related?

Okay..I'll take a look at it as soon as I have some time. Thanks.
