Yes, this KCM is not designed according the HIG. It could look like this http://i.imgur.com/TVAZBFl.png. Enhancement idea to the existing HIG is a horizontal splitter left of "more" that allows to enlarge either the upper area to see more than just a few items in the list or to have more space for the advanced options.
About the content I wonder why someone would want to change the cursor at this point of the login. And User would be some kind of restriction allowing only a range of users to login, if I get this right. Makes not much sense to me, however. But anyway, it would be added below the other stuff - my mockup cuts the content there for lazyness purpose :-).

A remark regarding the existing KCM: it takes a lot of space and probably I'm not the only one who tries to resize the left part. My suggestion is to add a vertical splitter. And maybe the right part for customization could be smaller by default.

PS: KCMs should indicate if the execution needs elevated user rights. No idea how at the moment.
