Description of problem: Using fedora-8's gdm-2.20.5-3.fc8.x86_64 it was possible to login without touching the mouse. Input focus was in a username text box. With Rawhides latest gdm its necessary to first use the mouse to select a user. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdm-2.23.1-0.2008.07.28.1.fc10.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.(gdm login screen) 2. 3. Actual results: need to use mouse Expected results: no need for mouse to login Additional info:
focus should be such that you can just type the username and press enter. that doesn't work?
Oh, I don't know why you have to hide the input text field? but OK, that works.
I take that back, it doesn't always work. In fact, it doesn't work on the first gdm screen after a reboot. 1. reboot (don't touch the mouse) 2. type in a user name and enter, or just enter for the current name Nothing happens.
Looks like we've had some initial focus regression since f-9. Dave mentioned seeing it on IRC, too, so i'm adding him to the cc list.
Looking at the code, I only ever see us grab the focus to the auth-entry. There probably needs to be some gtk_widget_grab_focus (user_chooser) at the appropriate spot.
