Hmmm, maybe when using network auth, security level should default to
>=3, and user should not be prompted about security alert emails,
instead they should go to appropriate group (Domain Admins in Winbind,
adm or similar in NIS/LDAP?). Then user list would be disabled anyway,
but you would get other benefits by default.

You're complaining about 15?

We make all our machines look similar, and it is too much mission to
make a gdm theme compared to just making a background and choosing
decent fonts. So, we use gdm in it's older mode if we use it, in which
case it looks no better than mdkkdm, and IMHO is a bit less usable.
