Thus far, all I know is if users put an image called .face in their home directory, the greeter will display it. If they use one of the desktop utilities to fill in their personal details, and choose an image file, it creates that .face file for them. Of course, the greeter can't read that file when the home directory permissions are rwx------ (and that's how they're going to stay, on this system). I'd have thought there could be some /var/something... place where each user could have their pictures stored. -- Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
