Re: states: family, personal (aka mono-user)

Hmm.. I think you might want to have a popup dialogue notifying them 
that changing to family mode when 'arklinux' and 'root' are in their 
default states and no other users have been created, will cause them to 
be unable to login to KDE. (I DON'T think the authentication/PAM widgets 
for the non-autologin should be modified for arklinux or root .. )  I 
don't think we should pop up an 'add user' widget.  Just inform them of 
the consequences of their actions, then give then the option to continue 
or cancel.

Just my feeling on the matter.
