This is a pointless "unbreak my desktop" option. If your machine only has LDAP/NIS logins, or you use PAM modules for fingerprint readers etc., why do you need to configure it? Right now these work out of the box. Worse, for configuring it you actually need to be able to log in; chicken-egg.

What is so bad about having this option? It doesn't get in the way, can be at the bottom of the list. "Other.." might be a poor name and cause confusion, it could perhaps be "Another user.." or "Type user name.."?
