Mmm... I'm not planning to move into gnome shell (still) so having to
switch into that just to get more "accessibility" or "higher levels of
configurability" would be a big handicap.

Thanks... that gnome bug (#587750) seems to be key:
***
GDM rewrite needs a configuration GUI panel similar to 2.20 (gdmsetup)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=587750

Fortunately, there is no mention for binding "gdmsetup" within gnome
shell :-)
