Comment 17 for bug 941673

Our setup is affected by this bug when the ldap server is offline. What is the proper way to disable accounts service and 'fallback lightdm' ? I removed accountsservice and everything works fine except that a handful of packets depend on it (Ubuntu 10.04)

* The following packages will be REMOVED:
* accountsservice gdm gnome-control-center indicator-datetime indicator-power language-selector-common
* language-selector-gnome ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-standard

I really don't see why all these dependencies exist. Isn't there supposed to be an alternative ?
