** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: gdm
  
  When I begin typing at the GDM greeter, GTK does its usual thing for
  searching within lists: it highlights the item starting with the letters
  the user has typed. (For example, a user named John will be highlighted
  if the user types j).
  
  However, a user who immediately begins typing at the greeter probably
  intends to type a username directly (perhaps even for accessibility
  reasons). It would be more useful for this case if the username field
- (same as when the user clicks “Other…” from the list) appears, filled in
- with the characters that have been entered so far. In this way, we stay
- consistent with login screens that had username fields by default, where
- the user could immediately begin typing.
