Re: [gdm-list] gdm username history

Jehan:

The below patch seems to disable the Face Browser completely.  This is
probably what people like Bob are really wanting.  However, the original
request seemed to be that it would be good to allow the Face Browser to
be used, but to have a configuration option to disable the history
record-keeping aspects of it.
