I'm sorry, but I can't answer your question. In fact, I have my own.

Why is it considered to be simpler if everything is hidden in one
menu? Isn't there enough space in the gdm? Here are some reasons, why
I think it's not simpler!
* User has to perform more clicks.
* The name 'Options" gives an impression that there is something
underneath to configure gdm itself, not to turn off computer, etc.
* With breezy it was very clear that language and session are related
to login. Currently it's not. New users could be puzzled, what effects
those two have.

Thoughts?
