so i was talking with a friend today, and we both decided that it
would be exceedingly useful for xlogin to have an "eject floppy"
and "eject cdrom" button/option/whatever so that you can do that
without having to log into (or back into) the machine. 
additionally, sometimes the cdrom software gets confused and won't
let you eject the cdrom until you log out and log back in again,
and an eject cdrom button would be of immense utility in
not-having-to-log-in-again.

it also seems that they would be trivial to implement, but i
haven't looked at the xlogin source, so i don't know for sure.  :)

The text field should also be used as a motd for the user matched
when they _are_ allowed in, instead of just as a rejection message
