Public bug reported:
Hi
It really does not make sense to display more than 10 local users on
system. Personally , unity-greeter should auto-enable manual user hint,
and limit the no of users to a sane no ( for me , this is 10 ).

users.user_added.connect (user_added_cb);
users.user_changed.connect (user_added_cb);
users.user_removed.connect (user_removed_cb);
- foreach (var user in users.users)

+ else {
+ warning ("breaking out ,after limiting users"); // way
too many users in list, abort mission
+ user_list.always_show_manual = true;
+ break;
+ }
+ }
}
if (greeter.has_guest_account_hint)

systems can have large no of users locally on system
