Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run gdmsetup (start here -> system settings -> login screen) 2. enable automatic login 3. insert root in the text field 4. click close button Additional info:
should be fixed in upstream HEAD cvs and thus in GNOME 2.6
This is fixed now.
