Common location for face files
Hi,
why are the face files located in user's home? In case of encrypted home directories the login managers cannot access them and the user management programs of the different DEs need to create an extra copy of the face files in a location outside of the home directory, which is login manager specific. This increases the effort for developing user management program unnecessarily.
Wouldn't it be a good idea to have a common location for the users' face files? My suggestion would be /etc/faces, because the face files are part of the user configurations. A simple policy kit rule could enable the users to write their face file into this directory.
What do you think?
Best regards,
Martin
