Description:
  Many laptops today comes with fingerprint readers. I even got it
  working in openSuSE 11.0, but it was a bit complicated.
  Why not enable this feature by default and have it integrated in the
  "About me" dialog, soo you can scan you finger just like changing
  password?

  Would this do any harm for machines not having a finger print reader?
  And in general does our finger print reader support works with the
  majority of laptops?

  No, it would be optional. IIRC GDM already supports something like
  that.

  It's already in development:

  Hopefully it'll be ready for KDE 4.4 and hence openSUSE 11.3. Maybe
  Lubos can lend a hand there.

  For GNOME, we just need to package fprintd and friends:
