I found a little bug with pinguybuilder and Linux Mint 17.3 that is easy to reproduce and maybe easy to fix in a next version!?:
After remastering the system there is the file "mdm.conf" in /etc/mdm missing, IF the user choosed password-login at first install instead of auto-login!
This makes that Mint-X is the default login-screen and the user is not able to switch between different login-screens in mdm-manager!
IF the user choosed "autologin" at install (in ubiquity-installer) he will get this file and can switch between different mdm-login-screen-themes (in mdm-manager) like in every other Linux Mint too.
I got this "phenomen" with more than 20 different isos i made with pinguy-builder!
It'ś just easy to fix if there is the file mdm.conf in /etc/mdm if the user choosed password-login at his first install of the remastered system (like pinguy-builder does if the user choosed autologin!).
A recommend configuration-file for mdm.conf is following entries:
Now the mdm-login-manager is ready to switch between differet screens!
It's easy for advanced users to make this file as root once and it's no really "bug" because the system works and a (standard Linux Mint) Login-screen appears.
And everybody can prevent this (if he/she knows!) by doing "autologin" at first install.
But it would be nicer (for novice users) if they get a system where the mdm-loginscreen-manager is always working and not depending on which login-way they choosed at first install.
Maybe in a next version of pinguybuilder!?!?
