AccountsServices

When I was working on getting xfce4, lightdm, and lightdm-gtk-greeter set up, I had trouble finding information on how to set up AccountsService. There is no man page and no documentation on how to set it up. I finally got it going, with the help of some posts in the FreeBSD and ArchLinux forums.

Is there really no doc? Is this one of those “Use the source, Luke” things?

Does this mean that in the spirit of “The squeaky wheel gets to supply the grease” I need to figure it out, write up some documentation, and contribute it to the project?
