	Ok. I've learned that Mark has the final word on what goes in and what
does not "visual appeal"-wise.

	The face-browser can be disabled, of course. It's only new that is will
be enabled by default.

	Hm... so do I get you right here... you suggest that in addition to
having the option to simply turn off the face-browser (thus using the
normal gdm-code which is in place already), it should offer mode of
operation using fall-back photos not revealing _any_ actual user-photos
(btw a fall-back photo will be used in the case of the face-browser
being enabled and some user not having provided a photo for the
face-browser)? If that's the case, this would be a bit odd and not make
much sense :)

Please explain your idea a bit more in detail.

Best regards...
