[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#686264: Bug#686264: lightdm: greeter-setup-script not executed

Alright, I feel a bit silly. I got it working now (with
greeter-setup-script, I assume it works with display-setup-script too,
but didn't try).
Before, I was merely appending the line:

greeter-setup-script=/usr/bin/synergys

At the end of the configuration, but it turns out, the place within
the file where I call the script matters a LOT.
To get it working I called the script in the [SeatDefaults] section.
Below is my new WORKING conf file (default debian conf file, except
the greeter-setup-script is uncommented from [SeatDefaults] and the
appropriate synergy command is called).

Please close the bug and my apologies for the false alarm.
