Description of problem: With disable_user_list set to true the GDM Greeter stares rather blankly at the user with "Other..." selected. The user needs to press Enter to get to the Username: prompt. However, if a user doesn't hit Enter and just starts typing, a box gladly pops up and the keyboard input appears there. Type in your full user ID and hit enter and the box goes away and the Greeter continues to blankly stare back at the user. This is confusing. Also, perhaps "Other..." could be a different text that helps the user know what to do rather than just type in their user ID. Perhaps "Network login" or "Other login" or "Login with username" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdm-2.26.1-13.fc11
Indeed, if the user list is suppressed, the whole step of graphically selecting an "Other" username can be skipped, and the greeter can go directly to the "Username:" prompt stage.
I would like to make sure this issue is addressed for the upcoming RHEL 6 as well.
OK, nominating as a priority fix.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
