How can I add Images for each user to Ubuntu 12.04 Logon Screen?

Question

I am not talking about having unique backgrounds on the login screen.

What I am looking for is a icon image besides each user name on the logon screen. This was something that was possible in ubuntu 10.04 (I think it was called "Human" or something similar).

I've searched the forums high and low with no luck.

Any ideas?

Go to System Settings > User accounts > click the logo beside each user in the right section and browse for desired photo or select one of the existing

Installing another Display Manager (GDM 3) does what you want.

Execute sudo apt-get install gdm then restart your machine.

If at anytime you needed to roll-back:

run sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm and select lightdm to go back to the original one.
