Sorry for sending the extra email, but I wanted to mention that I have
had *many* GDM users tell me that they like using the Face Browser with
many more users - I've reports of 100-200 users being used happily by
some users.  Surprised me when I first heard people liked using the
Face Browser with so many users, but it seems to be common based on
the numerous people telling me that they use it this way.
