Lightdm 1.2.2-15 here (and gtk greeter 1.1.6-3), working fine.
I found some little issues, like if you have an open session in a 
console terminal and try to shutdown from the lightdm greeter it will 
just get stuck there (instead of giving a warning and an option to cancel).
Also it sorts the users and session alphabetically (first capitals then 
small case) and apparently we can't define a default user/session (it 
always boots selected with the first on the list for both user and session).

Also xguest (testing package without dependency on gdm) didn't work when 
I tried but it might be that it just doesn't work if not with GNOME (I 
have limited space to test all alternatives but the xguest creator said 
he would have a look on that).
