  3. gdm: Prevent login problems with many users

    The patch works around a problem which sometimes froze gdm after
    entering the password. It depends on timing with nis and the number of
    users.

    Subject: [PATCH] GdmSessionWorker: Wait for ActUserManager
    
    We implicitly access the (singleton) ActUserManager via
    GdmSessionSettings.
    
    ActUserManager provided by libaccountsservice does asynchronous
    method invocations via dbus to the account service daemon
    (accountsdaemon.service). Depending on the number of users and the
    definition of the user database (which may involve rpc calls in the
    NIS case), the response to the ListCachedUsers call may take an
    undefined amount of time.
    
    We need to execute our main loop to get the responses for the
    asynchronous method invocations processed and delivered to
    ActUserManager.
    
    However, the current implementation of the pam services does synchronous
    method calls over the dbus and we don't return to our main loop while we
    are waiting for the user to enter the username or the password. If
    ActUserManger didn't complete its setup before we get into that state
    and the user needs longer then a dbus specific timeout (several
    seconds) to enter his data, the dbus daemon will delete the reply and
    the login process doesn't complete.
    
    The fix here is to check that ActUserManager has completed its setup
    before we switch to the states involving pam.
