    This is MDM, Login manager of Linux Mint. You can install it from Mint's repository.
    Here is the ppa: 

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mdm mint-mdm-themes

    This will install MDM and themes, you'll be prompted to select the default Login manager upon installation so choose MDM.

    This will work regardless of your desktop environment, MDM is a fork of GDM so I believe this will not hog up the system resources. I personally use LightDM on my Ubuntu 12.10.

    Login window is the program shipped along to modify the settings of MDM, you can customize pretty much everything with Login Manager.

    And for more themes and customization head over to gnome-look

  2. The image seems GDM running on Fedora.
