Dear Maintainer,

Out of the box, the indicator panel in lightdm doesn't look good.
The hostname shows up about 2/3rds of the way across the screen rather than
being either left-justified or centered.

Changing the indicators= line in the config file as attached to the report
makes it look visually better.

I'm not sure if the solution is to set a default indicators= line in the
Debian config file shipped with the package or to refer this upstream so that
it has a sensible default without having to have it be set explicitly.

I did find out recently that this is an upstream bug, it also exists on
Arch.
