I've been playing with Ubuntu Oneiric on my netbook (where breakage isn't really a concern); I like the new lightdm login screen, but it has one minor annoyance: in addition to my own user account, there's another account for occasional use by my girlfriend, and her user account is the one that's always focused (presumably because it's first alphabetically).
