The mockup for the login was indeed too involved for the limited time to 
implement.  I looked around and made a variation based off of 
"BlueSwirl" by DarkKnight9 found at [1].  Also took pieces from the FC5 
Fedora Bubbles GDM as well as from "Gnome Moment" by jordiablo [2]. 

Here's a screenshot [3]...there's an extra piece of text "Linux" which I 
can't seem to get rid of...if someone could take a look? Here's the 
greeter theme [4].
