I expect that it is caused by something relatively unusual in your environment, since this is the first I've heard of it. I'll start out with the obvious questions... Are you using the default Enlightenment window manager, or have you changed it to something else? This should be fixed in usermode-1.19, which will be in the next version of Raw Hide. Please reopen this bug if you continue to have problems after an upgrade. |
Close to 50% of the time, I can't enter a password as a regular user after selecting "halt" or "reboot" from the Gnome logout. This appears to be a problem with userhelper or the underlying widgets used when running userhelper in graphical mode. The interesting thing is that the buttons ("ok" and "cancel") *do* accept input from the mouse, but the text box simply will not get an activated cursor nor will any text (or *'s) appear as I type. This is an erratic problem, and I haven't been able to isolate what differeneces exist between times when it does work and times when it does not. The problem also existed in RH6.0.
