Hi! I maintain the lightdm-slick-greeter in my overlay. However, it depends on the Vala bindings for lightdm, which are disabled by default and no options to enable it (I mean, there's no USE-flag or Vala support for lightdm). Please, consider it for later releases. Meanwhile, I'm trying it on my overlay too and it works. Thanks. Reproducible: Always
If you happen got get it working, I'd be happy about an ebuild patch (please use a "diff -u" formatted patch and not a full ebuild file).

Ok. 1.18.3-r1: https://paste.pound-python.org/show/7hqDxupGrddGbDgdmp3z/ 1.24.0-r1: https://paste.pound-python.org/show/Pu5s4FHmJTjnpY8EcQVI/ 1.26.0 https://paste.pound-python.org/show/8diFb2w4D8zEHYjSamK1/
Pleae attach the patches to this bug.
Created attachment 528708 [details, diff] The patch for ebuilds to enable Vala support I found easier compress everything in just one patch file, so there is. Also, I tried both three ebuilds and all compile fine.
May I ask why you enabled vala USE flag by default?
Maybe for the same reason gtk and introspection are enabled by default, but you can disable it you if want it.

I've added lightdm-1.26.0-r1 to our tree with your changes added. I kept the vala USE flag default disabled because that's how every other ebuild using the vala USE flag is handling it. I also decided to not add this change to the stable ebuild because we need a newer version of lightdm stable anyway.
