Just to prevent false expectations here: The amount of login screen configuration here will be fairly minimal; mostly configuring auto-login. And this will be 'generic' in the usual way: A DBus service on the system bus that provides user-related information. The dialog that is described in this page is not going to be 'generic' or 'pluggable' -- other desktop environments can use the service in their own user management tools, or continue to use system-config-user. --[[User:Mclasen|mclasen]] 15:57, 23 November 2009 (UTC) | |||
