Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gdm

What happens:
Having upgraded to Karmic, I am presented with the new gdm login screen, with 
its list of users. Not liking this much, preferring the old method of entering 
my username and password (old habits, I guess) I go to the Login screen 
settings to hide the face browser and find that I can't. I can only:

 1. Enable the face browser
 2. Have the machine auto-login to a given user account with a delay so that 
others can log in if the automatic account isn't theirs.

Neither of these are particularly satisfactory solutions.

What should happen:
gdmsetup should allow the user to disable the face browser, as used to be 
possible in previous releases. At the moment, the only way I can disable the 
face browser is by using gconftool-2 directly, which is suboptimal for any 
non-cli-savvy user.
