User Accounts

We need a decent interface to manager user accounts. For this we will use the accountservice package.

It should be possible to add and remove accounts and edit the following settings: name, real name, password, automatic login, user picture and language.

First drafts

After evaluating a few user-settings-dialogs (e.g. users-admin) I came up with this first mockup:
A few things that still bother me about it:

  • The avatar feels natural in the right top, but leaves a lot of empty space on its left
  • The userlist-add and -remove buttons could maybe just be small “+” and “-” buttons instead of the fat ones
  • The edit-icons for the username and realname should be sitting on gtk-buttons
  • the positioning isn't perfect yet

Feedback is appreciated!
