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

I'm not suggesting editing XML is something normal people should do. It

I suggest the way forward is for you to ask the Gnome developers for a

Because it would involve changing the control center to let you change
the system defaults.

not be the same.
This is unfortunately correct.
The login screen runs as user 'gdm' which is not privileged. That means
it has no access to retrieve your personal settings until after you have
entered a password. So it uses the system defaults.
You might be able to change the system defaults by editing this file
