Agreed -- I don't like being goateed and eyeless either. :-) That's why
I wrote, "If the person does not have an icon, the Ubuntu icon ...
should be used instead". For vanilla GNOME that would be the foot icon.

We use tabular in lots of other places.
As Jon said, the account name is the caption for the face, so there's
nothing really left to be tabular with.
There's just one thing that bothers me about that choice, which is the
future possibility of an admin being able to use their own name and
password to unlock someone else's account. (Use case: A child leaves
the screen locked and goes to bed. Child's mother comes along, unlocks
the child's account, saves the child's unsaved documents etc, and shuts
down the computer for the night.) In that case we would probably need
an editable account name field, so a tabular layout would make sense.
