Bug Description

hi,

after getting my fingerprint-reader working, i wonder why i can only define 1 fungerprint in gnome-settings dialog (system->users->fingerprint login add finger).

i have defined one, fingerprint-usage is activated, if i click on the setting i will be asked about deleting the fingerprints to disable. here i can delete or cancel...as i do not want to delete i click cancel and expect the dialog for adding additional fingers...but this does not happen

i had defined 1 fingerprint and want to add more...

attached screenshot of settings-dialog and the question dialog (where i asked for deleting existing fingerprints).

i klick on (1) and get the dialog where i press cancel (2),because i don't want to delete existing fingerprint. dialog gets closed and not showing the dialog for adding fingerprints.
