Yes, Debian does something like that. I thought of it when I read this
thread starter email.
Disclaimer is I use the slick-greeter package for my login screen. I
don't know what other packages declare my login screen's setup.
There's a subtle icon next to the text fields for that login. If you
click it, the options appear for whichever desktop environments are
installed.
If someone's using a screenreader on that screen, it would be useful to
hear if it easily identifies that icon and its option. I'm using XFCE4,
by the way.
