I'm using xubuntu 12.10 and wanted to use the unity-greeter for the login screen (lightdm). The thing is that I installed the package unity-greeter (and gnome-settings-daemon), changed to unity-greeter in the lightdm.conf file but the login screen turned out something like this http://i.imgur.com/lSsnng3.png and this http://i.imgur.com/QTdu0Xo.png (please ignore the vertical panel, I used the --test-mode to take the screenshots). As you can see the theme doesn't look as it should, there are those "old" icons used and when I click to select the environment it can be seen that the windows look like beeing an old debian theme.
What can I do to make it look "normal" ?

Obviously, you are missing some packages.
This should be
ubuntu-artworkand if that fails,ubuntu-desktopwill throw in the remainder.However, if you are disappointed by the xubuntu greeter, having a look at the elementary project might help.
