[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#723874: lightdm: adds hardcoded options to xserver commandline

[jhildred at juno.com]

Package: lightdm
Version: 1.2.2-4
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

In previous versions of debian, If you crashed the X server, or just wanted a quick shell as an other user, It is a simple
matter to switch virtual terminals, and get back to work. but lightdm adds the -novtswitch option to the X server to disable
this functionality. the patch bellow would alleviate the immediate symptoms, but another configuration option would be
better.
