Actual results:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/firstboot/firstbootWindow.py", line 278, in nextClicked
    result = module.apply(self.notebook)
  File "/usr/share/firstboot/modules/rhn_login_gui.py", line 165, in apply

    return s.lower()
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'lower'


Since there is a problem with the Red Hat Login module, 
Red Hat Setup Agent will not load this module and 
will attempt to run the remaining modules.

Please file a bug against 'firstboot' in the Red Hat 
bug tracking system at http://www.redhat.com/bugzilla. 
A copy of the debug output has been saved to /root/firstboot.1142452444.92 
Be sure to attach that file to the bug report. 


Expected results:
no traceback
