Just checked out the Gnome 2.26 release notes and there is a feature announced for gnome-about-me to be able to set your fingerprint reader up with. However it seems this is missing in Ubuntu build and fprintd is not available.

The feature is announced here: http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.26/#rnusers.aboutme

2.9. Fingerprint Reader Integration

GNOME 2.26 now integrates with the fprintd fingerprint service to allow users to enroll fingerprints for use in authentication.

If a system is configurated for allowing fingerprint authentication, users can enroll their fingerprints via Desktop ▸ Preferences ▸ About Me from the panel menu.
