If you want only some users to show up in the pandora window, just add a line to this file saying "someone:noshow". If you want icons for everyone, but faces for only some people, you could put "someone:machineicon" for the people who don't have faces (faceless people?). That isn't what the machine icon is for, but I think this would work. I guess it would be nice if there was a "usericon" option here to force the default user icon. Also, I couldn't actually find the machine icon anywhere, so I think it may be hard wired into pandora. It would be nice if Pandora searched the /usr/lib/faces directory before the home directories. -David Hinds dhinds@cb-iris.stanford.edu
