Title:
  gnome-about-me misses fprintd for fingerprint authentication support

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Just checked out the Gnome 2.26 release notes and there is a feature
  announced for gnome-about-me to be able to set your fingerprint reader
  up with. However it seems this is missing in Ubuntu build and fprintd
  is not available.

  The feature is announced here: http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.26/#rnusers.aboutme
  --- snip ---
  2.9. Fingerprint Reader Integration

  GNOME 2.26 now integrates with the fprintd fingerprint service to
  allow users to enroll fingerprints for use in authentication.

  If a system is configurated for allowing fingerprint authentication, users can enroll their fingerprints via Desktop ▸ Preferences ▸ About Me from the panel menu.
