(So it would still require root credentials.) This sounds like a more reasonable option. Your right, the login screen is something only "admins" should be allowed to change. But also at the same time, it feels a bit out of place under the "administration" menu. If you move the login theme settings onto the appearance window, you could have a password/login prompt when you click on the "login tab"
