Description of problem: When gdm is set to use the "Happy Gnome" login screen, it looks like this: In the center light blue area you have the following items (from top to bottom): 1) A welcom text 2) A label "Username:" 3) A textfield for entering that username 4) A Cancel button 5) An OK button 6) A text saying: "Please enter username" I would suggest removing line 6) and use the removed text on line 2 instead of the current "Username". As it is the user is asked for his username twice. This makes the dialog look too complex. I would also suggest making the cancel and OK button more buttonlike in appearance, now they look too much like textfields. I would also suggest putting the "cancel" and "OK" button side by side as most people are used to read text from left to right. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdm-2.13.0.8-6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1 Configur gdm to use Happy Gnome 2.Restart 3.Watch the ugly login screen
Hi, This suggestions sound sensible to me. Can you file them in an upstream bug report (at http://bugzilla.gnome.org), and post a URL to the bug report here? Thanks.
Done, you find the upstream bug report at: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=333200 It also covers the problem of the wording of the OK, that probably should be named something like "Next" or "Continue" as the login procedure in gdm is somewhat wizzard like.
Fedora Core 5 and Fedora Core 6 are, as we're sure you've noticed, no longer test releases. We're cleaning up the bug database and making sure important bug reports filed against these test releases don't get lost. It would be helpful if you could test this issue with a released version of Fedora or with the latest development / test release. Thanks for your help and for your patience. [This is a bulk message for all open FC5/FC6 test release bugs. I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.]
The information we've requested above is required in order to review this problem report further and diagnose/fix the issue if it is still present. Since there haven't been any updates to the report in quite a long time now after we've requested additional information, we're assuming the problem is either no longer present in our current OS release, or that there is no longer any interest in tracking the problem. Setting status to CANTFIX, however if you still experience this problem after updating to our latest Fedora Core release and are still interested in Red Hat tracking the issue, and assisting in troubleshooting the problem, please feel free to provide the information requested above, and reopen the report. Thank you in advance. (this message is mass message)
