I stand corrected...
I may have changed the login screen from the default to something that
didn't include a face/user browser/list (because I consider that a security
risk)

Once I went back to the default, the error/warning message went away.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

... now that I'm back to the default theme, I've configed it so that the
face
browser/user list is disabled,  Unfortunately the window in which it would
appear is still there.  Its a minor, visual annoyance, but I can live with
something _that_ trivial.


On the other hand, we should probably make the error less scary like:

Both sound like the right answer... a less scary warning...

"The theme you were using is no longer available.
Changing the theme to 'Fedora Infinity' instead."

and once its changed back,  then the message should/will no longer appear.
