No.  Actually, I had my kdm login screen set to pick from a list of users,
with pictures - just like Windows XP! - back in KDE 2.0, and like it that
way.  Some KDE update (going from Corel Linux, to Debian, to Ubuntu) lost
that, and I didn't care enough to try to get it back, but I'm happy to see
it show up on my new Gutsy kdm screen.

Sure, I could have done it just by not letting it copy over my kdmrc file
(or restoring the .dpkg-old version).
