I meant to check that but never got around to it. That in itself is a
bug: it ought to require user creation. We don't want to be encouraging
desktop login as root.

I don't think that's really necessary at least with the current layout.
I think the current state is far more confusing, because it makes you
scratch your head and say 'why is it showing all this stuff I just did'?

For all normal cases, once the 'hiding' stuff is implemented, there will
only be two possibilities for i-s: either it runs with a single spoke,
user creation, or it does not run at all. I'm not sure we need
explanatory text for that.
