[Design] [Cosmo] Login-related workflows update

[Mimi Yin]

I have added an 'Alternate' to the 'Alternate' proposal for how to  
provide access to the home directory browsing UI:

For mock-up, see:
http://wiki.osafoundation.org/bin/view/Journal/ 
WorkflowsZeroDotSix#AlternateAlternate

Just to recap:
Proposal #1: Provide access to home directory browser from the  
Settings panel. (I believe this proposal is in addition to the  
proposals below, as in, it's not mutually exclusive with the options  
below.

Proposal #2: Dubbed, the 'Alternate proposal' is to place checkboxes  
underneath the login area to Login to 3 different UIs: Casual  
Collaborator UI, Admin UI, Home directory browsing UI.

Proposal #3: Alternate to the 'Alternate proposal': Add links off to  
the side (upper right hand corner) to login as an admin or login to  
browse your home directory.

Again, neither Proposal 2 or 3 precludes providing access for  
traversing the different UIs after logging in. They simply allow  
users to access the admin and home directory browsing UIs without  
having to first go through the end-user UI.
