Just to prevent false expectations here: The amount of login screen configuration here will be fairly minimal; mostly configuring auto-login. And this will be 'generic' in the usual way: A DBus service on the system bus that provides user-related information. The dialog that is described in this page is not going to be 'generic' or 'pluggable' -- other desktop environments can use the service in their own user management tools, or continue to use system-config-user. --[[User:Mclasen|mclasen]] 15:57, 23 November 2009 (UTC) | |||

User:Ausil I would like to see this designed in a more generic way. allow for GDM/KDM/whatever login manager to be configured. allow for desktops to implement frontends and keep package bloat down. bonus points for being able to handle switching from one desktop environment to another and having setting picked up automatically.
