How is this different from Wifi and keyboard settings that I'm already setting system wide? And how does this compromise the security of the system? The gdm user doesn't need to be able to change my settings. All it needs is to be able to read some settings to use them instead of the defaults if I'm the only user. I'll open a bug.

In particular it doesn't seem to use the mouse speed settings. This gives an inconsistent feeling between the login screen and the desktop if you're not using the default speed in the desktop. In my case I need to make the mouse speed much slower to be usable and that means that when I'm in the login screen the mouse is very jumpy. The same thing happens for the screen size settings (defaulting to 200% instead of the 100% I've set) but that's less inconvenient although still shows lack of polish. I assume this is because these settings are per-user but for the vast majority of desktops that's a single person anyway so it's a bad default.
