Playing with current Ubuntu hack for xscreensaver unlock dialog, I found
interesting ideas about the unlock dialog for gnome-screensaver.
The main suggestion is place the face and the name horizontally: this is
really better IMHO (of course I'm not saying it's more usable, just more
visually pleasure).
By now I can't produce any patch (maybe the next week), but here[1] is
an animated mockup (many thanks to GIMP and GLADE).
Notes:
* Missing proxy icons from buttons is not a feature. I was trying
the dialog without icons, if users don't like icons in dialog
buttons. :-)
* Apu was chosen due to his long long name
* of course the face is (C) by Matt Groenig
* we don't need a window titlebar, but a frame around the dialog
could be interesting
* if you do nothing, the "Access Denied" dialog should disappear
after n seconds as well as the "Insert Password" dialog
If anyone want to implement it, I could send the GLADE file to check
spacings and placements (the "Access Denied" dialog should use the same
size of "Insert Password"; you can do it using a GtkNotebook without
tabs)
