Description: Compiling with the "--with-login-manager" flag will make a button called "New Login" that points to /usr/bin/gdmflexiserver to allow user switching if the using gdm as the greeter. This would be value added for folks using xfce4, lxde, openbox, etc. since gnome-screensaver does not provide functionality on non-gnome systems with version 3 (depends on gnome-session).

And how does this affect people who don't use a display manager at all?

@falconindy - On my system in runmode 3 manually starting xfce4, the button has no effect when pushed and the screen unlocks normally. Upon unlocking, there is a warning message saying that no login app is running. No ill effects.
