Will the UI be something that can end up being shared with
gnome-screensaver, to avoid mismatching UIs?

Given that, at least for a transition period, it might replicate some of
the settings done during the installation, would it be possible to
disable particular pages from being shown, so as to have no overlap. I'd
expect distributors to make changes to the .desktop file to disable
particular pages until their installer catches up.
