Description Christoph Wickert 2008-11-28 15:58:25 UTC
Description of problem:
The bar on the bottom contains dropdowns to select language, keyboard and session. It also has a notification area. Therefor the bar become very wide. 800*600 and below does not work, so gdm is not usable on for netbooks and alike any longer.

Comment 1 Christoph Wickert 2009-05-29 22:04:27 UTC
Would anybody like to comment on this one? When you do, please keep in mind that some countries have keyboard layouts with longer names than just "US", for example here in Germany we use "Latin de-latin1-nodeadkyes". And there are countries with more than one language, so this dropdown is getting large, too. E.g: "Switzerland (Swiss)".

Comment 2 Christoph Wickert 2009-10-13 14:56:58 UTC
Changing version to rawhide to avoid that bug gets closed by the bugzappers.

Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2009-11-16 09:40:58 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle.
Changing version to '12'.
