This was only meant as a temporary solution for 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=674978 and
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=678712

Not really, it has a number of problems:
      * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=682299
      * has some SELinux problems, see
        https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=635897
      * doesn't handle dual screen 
      * doesn't allow a keyboard selection on the login screen

The latter has changed in git already, I need to update the package.
