Regarding this.. I was thinking that the mockup would look alot better if
it resembled the same setup as gdm. For instance take the way Ximian
handles the loggin in and use the same framework with the picture
and then provide a set of options to the right of the picture
(IE: logout, safe shutdown, reboot).  Shut Down by itself is fine if
there is some type of communication to the user that they can turn off
their computer as I can see people getting confused with such an option.
I will make a mockup to show this. It will keep the loggin in and loggin
out of a user consistent from the actual login in to loggin off. I'll show
my idea a little later on as I've gotta run to the doctor.

Thanks for listening.
