Bug Description

I installed Ubuntu on a PC for a "normal" Windows user some days ago.
He didn't like the idea to retype his name everytime to login, so I went with a face browser, so he could select one of the user accounts and then enter the password.

The only disappointment was that I couldn't find a nice Human style themed login screen, or did I miss something. Now he has to be satisfied with a blue Gnome gdm theme after which the desktop appears which is totally brown and tangerine, which the user really likes.

On IRC #ubuntu-artwork I heard that the face browser GDM themes aren't shipped with Ubuntu because of security reasons, strange thing is there are stille Gnome GDM themes with a face browser in Ubuntu.
