Package: gdm Version: 2.16.4-1 Severity: normal When I set gdm to use the traditional greeter window instead of a theme, *almost* always, after I finish my session and return to gdm, I get the infamous (and partly hidden) message "Authentication failed. Letters must be ...", *without typing anything*. That is, it displays that error message all by itself atfer 1 or 2 seconds. Meanwhile I can see this line being spit out to /var/log/auth.log:
Feb 27 00:32:58 unicorn gdm[3369]: (pam_unix) bad username [] This happens with user pics or without them, on 2 very different systems, I think it should be reproducible.
