As I wrote in my original mail there's overlap between this new cool
thing, the GNOME About Me dialog and system-config-users. Ideally we
should just have a single tool.

Yes, I think what we talked about in the GDM discussion was to reuse the user dialog inside GNOME.  So there would be a dialog for creating / editing a user account that can be called from GDM as well as a dialog for doing the same inside the Desktop.  (
i.e. the person probably shouldn't have to log out to create / edit new users) To save effort we should attempt to reuse code paths because the dialogs and actions will be almost exactly the same.
