- Update PAM file to include system defaults
- Set PATH to default from /etc/login.conf
- Don't pass-through empty PATH from lightdm to X11 (breaks runtime)
- Allow locale selection on login screen. First, lightdm must be patched
to correctly detect utf8 locales, which have a UTF-8 suffix on FreeBSD
instead of utf8 like on Linux systems. Secondly, we have to use locale
codes in the language menuitem as FreeBSD doesn't have support for
locale naming (missing _NL_IDENTIFICATION_LANGUAGE implementation).
- Use @sample for lightdm-gtk-greeter config file to prevent it from
being overwritten when the package is reinstalled / upgraded.

The previous patch to replace the Linux clearenv(3) function did not
actually clear the environment, but instead created a new environment
variable named environ with the value "NULL".

This fixes an issue noticed when sysutils/bsdstats was installed and
enabled at runtime in /etc/rc.conf, but for whatever reason was failing
to send the updated statistics. Upon failing, the lightdm process would
receive a SIGHUP, causing it to stop seconds after the login screen was
displayed (before the user even had a chance to login).
Xresources, Xkbmap and Xmodmap will now be read if they are found in
%%LOCALBASE%%/etc/X11/ or %%LOCALBASE%%/etc/X11/xinit/
with or without a "." prefix.
User-specific versions are still also found in $HOME/ with a "." prefix.
Lightdm is a display manager that:
* Is cross-desktop - supports different desktops
* Supports different display technologies
* Is lightweight - low memory usage and fast performance
* Has a comprehensive test suite
