Well the issue is that we have to start being careful what gets crammed in and
if too much is crammed in how to hide it away.
The point is that too many options visible would be problematic since the main
point of a login is to have a place to pick user and to write in passwords.
We could cheat and use an "advanced" button - but thats not really a very
elegant solution unless done carefully.
Some login screens offer advanced options in relatively small buttons on
the periphery (usually in some corner(s) of the screen). I think that
works rather well because the focus of attention is on the center, so
users won't even notice them unless they actively look for them (and
then they're easier to find than if they're hidden behind some button).
Oh and I did a really messy wireframe animation for the fade-to-desktop/splash
animation where we build on the login screen. Just as an example of way to
integrate the two.

Wow! I don't know if that's technically possible without a new/modified
KWin effect, but if it is (or the new/modified effect would be created),
I'd love to have that transition!
