Well, we can go back to the solution of only sticking a textbox to enter an
openid_url like
https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id?id=AItOoiuZZgfdLHFDSK2hfdbGFSJ_Evn9FVLVCXZ

but I am not sure the people pushing for usability would particularly like
that. It is also a pretty common way of handling login pages these days. As
far as I can tell, pretty much everyone who supports federated login does it
this way.

In fact I was rather thinking the other way round and include those logos on
the signup page as well, to let new users know that these option exists.

However, I am sure if you present some constructive alternatives of how to
improve usability, people will consider it.
