Question #259914 on LightDM GTK+ Greeter changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/lightdm-gtk-greeter/+question/259914

    Status: Open => Answered

Andrew P. proposed the following answer:
1. Greeter do not have special code for launching NetworkManager applet (unity-greeter have).
2. But yes, it's possible.

You need greeter version from trunk and "libapplication" indicator ("indicator-application" package for Ubuntu).
Greeter nust be compiled with indicators support (default for Ubuntu).

lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf:

[greeter]
...
# Launch nm-applet instead of screen reader
reader=nm-applet
# Launch it when greeter starts
a11y-states=+reader
# Indicator that can display nm-applet icon
indicators=<your panel items>;libapplication.so

At this moment it's the simplest way to get NM icon at greeter screen.
It's not solution - it's workaround.
