Also, fwiw, the face browser is hidden in 800x600 because a lot of geeks^Wpeople wanted to test this in qemu/vmware/kvm. Maybe a lot of

users do this too. I don't know. Anyway, realistically a lot of the reviewers are going to test our live cd this way so I think Ray's fix needs to be revisited. Ray?
well, maybe we need a livecd specific theme? I guess that's the easiest way to fix this problem.
I disagree; our current theme should be able to cope just nicely with this. If you think about it what Will is complaining about it's just as true in the non-livecd use case. The only difference probably being that livecd users never seen a Linux system before - and that I don't even buy. We should solve this for both.
For the livecd case, it might even be nice to just take whatever username the user enters and create the user, give them sudo access, etc.
I think that's a bit over the top... FWIW, since the root password is blank consolehelper just works without asking for the root password.
If we do that then we'll need to hide Sessions completely because Sessions would provide overlapping and conflicting functionality.
It's already hidden well enough I think.
