Bug Description

Tried to reconfigure the system to use kdm and change user from lockscreen. It failed and showed me a message after I unlocked the session:
The name org.gnome.DisplayManager was not provided by any .service files.

It may be connected to bug #868660, but both lightdm and gdm do work fine in my case.

I can select gnome session (or unity) wiht kdm beside KDE in multiuser system. But I can not switch user from Unity. I get the same message.

Try installing the package "kdm-gdmcompat". This allows gnome-screensaver to work with kdm when switching users. This works for me on Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin)/Linux Mint 13 (maya) in a gnome-fallback session.
