Actually, I had a client a few years ago who was a bank, and some bank examiners came in and dinged them because their NT 4 workstations displayed the userid of the last successfully logged in user in the login dialog. We had to do some kind of registry hack or download some freeware or something to disable that behavior. Bank examiners (and these days, probably any other security auditor) would flip their lids at the notion of a login manager that not only displays the last logged in user, but every user in the system. On all of the pre-9.1 machines I've deployed in bank environments, I've turned off kdm's "show users as little icons" option in KDE control center (on those machines that need X running in the first place) but as I mentioned previously, I wondered why that wasn't working in 9.1 and that's probably slowed down our deployment a little as a result.
