I stand corrected...
I may have changed the login screen from the default to something that
didn't include a face/user browser/list (because I consider that a security
risk)

Once I went back to the default, the error/warning message went away.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

... now that I'm back to the default theme, I've configed it so that the face
browser/user list is disabled,  Unfortunately the window in which it would
appear is still there.  Its a minor, visual annoyance, but I can live with
something _that_ trivial.
 

On the other hand, we should probably make the error less scary like:

"The theme you were using is no longer available.  We'll load Fedora
Infinity instead"

or some such, and we should only show the dialog once (or maybe not at all?)

Both sound like the right answer... a less scary warning...

"The theme you were using is no longer available. 
Changing the theme to 'Fedora Infinity' instead."

and once its changed back,  then the message should/will no longer appear.
