Description

Switch-user requests made for gdmflexiserver can be relayed to LightDM.

This script is useful for desktop components, such as Xfce panel actions, that expect gdmflexiserver-style behavior while the system uses LightDM. It does not add a greeter or display manager by itself; it bridges one command path.

User switching affects active sessions and login flow. Test with the target desktop before relying on it for shared machines.
