Default Theme

[Bryan Pizzuti]

 That's a very good point to keep in mind, but there's 2 sides to the whole
thing.  Yes, in a workplace, it's a security risk, especially on a high-end
server and such.  But to a person who is just sitting at a desk, typing out
this and that, it's less so, and such people feel more comfortable with a
"point and click" sort of login.

Now, if this were a server sort of OS (I realize it CAN be, but Ubuntu seems
to focus more on the desktop) then I'd agree it's a security risk, and too
great a risk at that. But "Joe Bloe Manager" and his secretary would
probably feel a LOT more comfortable with that sort of setup on their
workstations. 

Food for thought. Crunch crunch. :D

I thing the graphical greeter is right as it is (not the theme at all but
that there is no user browser). The user browser is easy to use but in my
opinion a security risc. it shouldn't be to difficult to remember a username
and a password!?!
