Well no answer so far... but I took some time to play on this, and have
some mockups to propose. Please test!

Everything is on the ticket, under the title "Prototypes":

    https://tails.boum.org/todo/tails-greeter:_revamp_UI/


Download everything in

    https://tails.boum.org/todo/tails-greeter:_revamp_UI/mockups/


or better clone the git, go to the directory and:

    $ ./mockup.py [-v <variant>] [-p]


Dependencies: gtk3, python gobject introspection (basically debian wheezy)

My goals for the interface was:

    - read in "natural" order: top to bottom
    - no hidden windows/options
    - easy to adapt to right-to-left languages RTL
    - inspired/similar to GNOME3 "system perferences"


I'd like to hear about:

    - your overall impression?
    - should keyboard selectable independently from locale in one click?
    - your navigation experience?
    - where should the locales box be?


Cheers
