Indeed there are several use cases:

1) Public web sites that are read only (except for admins or a group of people 
maintaining it for example)
2) Collaborative public web sites (want to promote registration/logging in) 
(e.g. xwiki.org)
3) Intranets (also want to promote logging)

The standard flavor is neutral and the simplest is probably to have either an 
Admin UI option to configure the location (technically it could be a UIX 
parameter that specifies where the login and/or register options are located - 
Or we could keep it as 2 UIX with an option to disable it).

Now since XWiki by default is a wiki and thus about promoting collaboration, 
I’d make the icon visible by default and let admins of use case 1) the need to 
configure it in the Admin.

WDYT?

Thanks
