Further testing shows this bug occurs if gdmsetup is called from another windowmanager (i'm using awesome here, still freedesktop compliant): the privilege escalation program doesn't gets called to unlock the widget.
once unlocked gdm lets one change the default system-wide (for all users), but not for single users, so it is still a question how to do that, since gdm doesn't asks anymore to change the default. if you know how, thanks in advance for your hints! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/588353 Title: gdmsetup does not let me unlock -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
