Guram: I'm not sure the solution is to change the login screen's
behavior. Since you can't guess that the user is going to click on an
account with password-less login, you would have to see the options all
the time. This means you cannot know what language and keyboard layout
are the default for this account, so you're screwed!

A better solution would be to add this to the accounts configuration
tool, allowing administrators to change these settings (and of course
the user himself when logged in). The new users management tool,
accounts-dialog, has made some steps in that direction, e.g. by showing
the language for the user. See http://git.gnome.org/browse/accounts-
dialog and http://blogs.fedoraproject.org/wp/mclasen/2010/01/30/first-
release/.

Of course, you can also try to find another solution in GDM, for example
adding a small button/icon allowing to tweak settings before logging in,
but it would have to suit well with the current design to be accepted
upstream.
