if Show list of users was a sub menu of Show the screen for choosing who

There is no ambiguity here:

I installed and updated
The radio button option is just an easier workaround. Than using the
command line to edit the login appearance. Its still not a proper login
dialog box like what was available pre 9.10.
At least it will satisfy corporate requirements, even if it looks a bit
tacky. Definitely not the experience
Corporate environments should be using a configuration management
system. There is no requirement for a user interface for this in a
corporate environment. It's not like a 10,000 desktop company is going
to go around and manually adjust a radio button.
Here's approximately how we're doing it with
This issue needs to be resolved in 10.04 lucid. A simple radio button to
offer not to show the face browser is all that is needed.
Right now your options are
1) show the face browser
2) auto log someone in.
