One main features removed from gdm, is the possibility to log in from the
gdm login screen. This was an important feature, that should not have been
removed.

Also, GDMSetup is reduced to only configuring automatic login. All other
settings are removed, including the option to enable remote log in from
GDMSetup. This feature, togehter with te possibbilty to configure GDM's
look, themes, should not have been removed. Even with the purpose of
cretaing a simpler and cleaner GUI.
