It ought to remember the authgroup that you last used, just as it
remembers usernames.

What happens when you select the 'smart card' authgroup? Does the
username/password prompt go away, and leave you with *only* a login
button?

I suspect there are two problems here. Firstly, perhaps it isn't
automatically switching to the remembered authgroup when initialising
the dialog... and then you're probably going to complain about the fact
that we don't auto-submit, and the user needs to manually press the
'login' button even when all the required information is present.
There's an RFE bug for that somewhere in GNOME bugzilla already...
