It works fine in my installed system. When we change user the focus 
automatically jumps to the password field (just like when you choose 
'Other' in the live-cd).

Granted, I didn't try to navigate with the keyboard to the panel buttons 
and on the confirmation dialogue for shutdown/restart etc. it doesn't work.

Language selector? I don't remember seeing one.
But I just tried the Xfce spin, not the DVD.
