Description Tomas Pelka 2011-03-02 10:19:13 UTC
Description of problem:
The character for protecting password in passwd dialogs is the small bullet, but when I switch the language to Pushto (Afganistan) than the protecting character is asterisk. I thing it should be the same for all langs, I'm I right? Spotted only on mentioned lang so far.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-screensaver-2.28.3-8.el6

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Be in gdm 
2. set Pushto (Afganistan) and login
3. lock screen
4. unlock it
  
Actual results:
there are asterisks except bullets

Expected results:
expecting bullet as a password protecting character

Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated

Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.

This is the result of different font choices for different scripts. I don't think this is a bug. At best, a small cosmetic issue.
