Just a joke, don't panic! ;-)

But cum'on guys, this is the type of non-answer that we always get these days. Even if I'm trying not to act as an old Linux/Ubuntu so-called "power-user" who wants to have a bazillion of "options", I don't see the point here for "newbies" when Windows, Mac, Google, etc. platforms are all "avatar-friendly... Lightdm Ubuntu implementation (unity-greater) is not so bad, but hey, there is nothing too revolutionary here that would justify to let down a newbie (or even an old horse, like me) who just want to have its picture there...

Anyway.... believe me, I really think that this issue is somewhat trivial, and I certainly won't go away just because of this... But this "déjà vue" attitude becomes hard to cope with sometimes....

From an old Ubuntu lover.
