Human theme with face browser

i've adapted the human gdm theme to include a face browser, i'm no artist so
there's nothing particularly special done, but it looks ok.

there are a couple of problems; the gdm.conf ideally needs to be altered to
include:

MaxIconWidth=48
MaxIconHeight=48

so that oversize face pictures don't make the browser unusable and/or ugly.
also the About Me capplet should use gdmphotosetup to set the ~/.face file
otherwise the above settings are not obeyed. (should this be filed as a
separate bug?)

also there's a problem with the face pictures not being readable by the gdm
service because of the permissions, i've filed a bug for this (#13888).

but that being said you can use the theme as things stand and it works fine
(just uses default face picture)
