Examples of messages are warnings that the user password will expire soon. [Test Case] 1. Make new user 2. Make user account set to expiring with chage tool. (pick yesterday for the date here) $ sudo chage -d 2014/04/29 -M 2 <username> 3. Log into this user from the greeter Expected result: User is informed that their password is about to expire. Observed result: Message displayed briefly before greeter closes and session starts. (On fast systems may not be visible at all) [Regression Potential] Since this is a behaviour change in how the UI presents authentication prompts there is a risk that other authentication cases might be adversely affected. Tested manually using the unity-greeter test mode which simulates many of these cases.
