Bug Description

The Unity screen lock only calls pam_authenticate() to unlock. It should also call pam_acct_mgmt() to do any account management requirements and pam_setcred(PAM_REINITIALIZE_CRED) to reinitialize any credentials

  * restart unity-panel-service for only the current session when
    restarting unity from the command line (LP: #777594)

  * When we see an escape in lockscreen prompt, clear the password. (LP:

  * Fixes the double lockscreen when switching users. (LP: #1291088)

  * Tooltip, QuicklistView: use the decoration shadow radius for
    computing padding (LP: #1291407)
  * 02_unity_setup_text_scale_factor: actually make it working, copy the
    gnome value to unity (LP: #1298492)
  * IconRenderer: scale textures when loading them based on the current
    launcher scaling Add SVG textures for tiles and markers (thanks to
    Matthieu James) to replace .pngs, also make them themable. (LP:
