[opensuse-gnome] gdmflexiserver and LightDM

Hi,

as of recently LightDM (http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/LightDM)
has started shipping a gdmflexiserver compatibility script which
potentially conflicts with the gdmflexiserver binary delivered by
the gdm package. Currently, I'm not including it in the package
since putting it in a different path or renaming it pretty much
defeats its purpose. The best way that I can think of to let
both coexist and allow it work as intended would be to rename
/usr/bin/gdmflexiserver in both gdm and lightdm and to create a
separate package with a wrapper script that calls the correct
gdmflexiserver based on the currently running display manager
(e.g. test for GDMSESSION and a LightDM-specific environment
variable). Any opinions on this or different suggestions?
