[Feature Request] Option to Display User Picture on the left of Username and Password

[dominichayesferen]

This has to be one of the best features that Unity Greeter didn't ever have, the ability to have your user picture displayed on the left of the Username and Password box for the selected user. If this is added, it'd be much appreciated.

Also, a bit of cornering for that square the User Picture is in would also look nice, no outlines though around it, that might ruin the look of it.

shudders at the thought of user pictures...

if some-one wants to take up this challenge - please - please - please can this be a controllable item through the greeter gsettings schema rather than by default.

What other greeters have implemented this? I wouldn't mind looking into it but no guarantees.

@SethBarberee lightdm-gtk-greeter has the ability to display 'faces'

@icarter09, can we mark this issue as a feature request?

I've studied the code and i'm attempting to do this. It's my first time coding for GTK, that's being good to learn :3
