re http://bugs.debian.org/683338 --
I also have a situation where the user list is too long to use normally,
so i need to set disable_user_list=true. this followup assumes that
this setting is made in /etc/gdm/greeter.gsettings, all in the context
of a debian wheezy system.
While the patch supplied by Sébastien Villemot [0] does resolve the
situation when a user clicks "cancel" during a login, it also appears to
break the login dialog box when someone enters the wrong password (as
reported by Gregorio Corral [1]). With the patch, if you fail to enter
the correct password, the dialog box remains with no UI elements.
Sébastien, can you confirm that behavior? have you tried failing a
login with your patch applied?
Is this problem reported upstream anywhere? This appears to make the
login manager basically unusable for anything but single-user machines.
Encouraging people to "zap" the X server to get it to restart, or
encouraging logging in from a text mode console to kill gdm somehow are
not really acceptable options.
Has this been reported upstream anywhere?
