[LightDM] Newer version of lightdm for 14.04.1 -- is this possible?

[Robert Heller]

Are there any plans to backport a newer version of lightdm for 14.04 LTS?  The 
current version (1.10.1-0ubuntu1) is 'broken' -- specificly it does not 
auto-re-login (autologin only works the *first* time, never after the user 
logs out).  I believe this is fixed in 1.11 (and later).  I don't want to 
upgrade to 14.10 and land on the upgrade-every-9-months roller coaster.  I 
would like to stay with 14.04 LTS for its full 5 years and enjoy a stable 
system (except for lightdm being broken).  (There are some issues with the 
Unity greeter, but I suspect using an alternitive greeter will fix that.)
