I'm not sure about the dialog to select the type of privacy setting.
"While dialogs can be an effective way to disclose additional controls
or information, they can also be a source of interruption for the user.
For this reason, always question whether a dialog is necessary, and
work to avoid the situations in which they are required." [1]. Perhaps
a menu/popover could replace it? Else, gnome-control-center has solved
a similar problem with a dialog, so it may not be so bad.

Other issue, I think that displaying the full list of available options
upfront, rahter than having a drop down list would smooth the user
experience by letting the user view the options and avoiding an
unnecessary click

Popovers always have arrows, else they are dialogs. But perhaps on
adding we should use a dialog (see above)

I think all On/Off choices would be better selected by a Switch [2]

I'm not sure if we can easily let the user choose more at the greeter
stage. For now I think we should keep the two buttons, but I'll discuss
with other developers to think about what would be feasible. What do
you imagine you'd like to see there?
