Bug Description
Binary package hint: gdm
What happens:
Having upgraded to Karmic, I am presented with the new gdm login screen, with its list of users. Not liking this much, preferring the old method of entering my username and password (old habits, I guess) I go to the Login screen settings to hide the face browser and find that I can't. I can only:
1. Enable the face browser
2. Have the machine auto-login to a given user account with a delay so that others can log in if the automatic account isn't theirs.
Neither of these are particularly satisfactory solutions.
What should happen:
gdmsetup should allow the user to disable the face browser, as used to be possible in previous releases. At the moment, the only way I can disable the face browser is by using gconftool-2 directly, which is suboptimal for any non-cli-savvy user.
summary: |
- There's no simple way to disable the gdm face browser + No GUI option to disable face browser |
