The animation can probably be made smoother in the future, especially if you're not logging in while some services are still doing work after just starting up in the background. I agree its not very glamorous right now, but its a damn-sight better than just suddenly snapping to a smaller box size...
Why?
Because that is static, boring, and stoic... all of which is not dynamic, modern, alive, and active. It may be slower, but I like it, even with its clunkyness, and I think alot of other people will too. When I'm desperate to login fast I use a VT.
Oh, it definitely has it's appeal... particularly with giving new users a good first impression that Fedora can do neat stuff,
The first impression is a strong flicker effect that makes the user think "wtf can't the dialog reduce its size smoothly and without flickering?" The second thought is a flicker of hope (pun intended) that it's just the ugly dialog and not due to a fundamental accelleration problem somewhere in the graphics driver.
but for a lot of us, we just want to log in quickly. That's why I'd want it in a config utility.
