I was not thinking about anything very specific, but penguins with various 
emblems(such as Mandrake do, IIRC), or something like kcontrol/Security & 
Privacy/Password & User Account.

But that's only if it's the right thing -- e.g. if it should be "identities" 
instead of only pretty pictures(if the former then causes implementation 
problems, that's a second stage problem).
