Thanks for the report, I agree the present situation is not optimal. But
don' t believe we wan't to fix this because password-less accounts are
unsecure, and we don't want to encourage users to work as in Windows. If
you want to perform administrative tasks, having a password is
essential.
OTOH, I'd really like to get bug 393854 fixed, to allow users to login
without typing their passwords if they want. This way, there's still a
password, but it is only needed when trying to get admin rights, when
connecting remotely or when unlocking the screen. The patch is there,
only somebody has to commit it.
