Feature Request: Move .Xauthority file from home folder #166

@BeatLink

Description

@BeatLink
 * slick-greeter 1.4.1
 * Mint 20
 * Intel Corporation UHD Graphics 620 - Default Drivers
 * 64 bit

It would be great if slick-greeter's default settings could move the .Xauthority file to system folders. This would both reduce clutter in the user's home folder and reduce the risk of novice users breaking things. Its quite easy to do by adding

[LightDM]
user-authority-in-system-dir=true

to the /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

I found this out from here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/960793/whats-the-right-place-to-set-the-xauthority-environment-variable/961459#961459

Thanks in advance for your consideration!
