Description
Using the "about me" tool, it is possible to set a user-pictue for the user that is logged in. I think Ubuntu should set a random picture from one of the pre-created ones by default. This picture should then be displayed on the login-window by default. This is an easy thing to do and creates a more professional feeling of the login window.

For systems with more than one user account, ok. For single-user machines, it's most probably not a good idea to load it as default...

PeterKraus, why not? Seems to me It would make the welcome screen look more modern and user centric even if it only regards one user...
