[Bug 56442] Re: GDM crashes when I press ENTER with empty Username field.

[Volanin]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: gdm
  
  In the GDM Login prompt, when I press ENTER for the first time with an
  empty Username field, the Username string changes to complete garbage.
  If I press ENTER again, gdm crashes.
  
  This does NOT happen with the Password field.
  
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  
  1 - Get to the GDM login.
  
  2- Type nothing in the Username field and press ENTER. Username string
  changes to a corrupted one.
  
  3- Type nothing and press ENTER again. GDM crashes.
  
  
  Computer info:
  
  - Acer 3624 notebook with Celeron-M 1.6GHz and 512MB RAM.
  - Intel 915GM Express Integrated Video.
  
  
  Operating System:
  
  - Using Dapper with all updates.
  - AIGLX enabled.
  - Default GDM prompt.
  - Just a single user created in the system.
+ - PAM modification to bypass keyring prompt as below:
+ 
+ 
+ /etc/pam.d/gdm:
+ 
+ #%PAM-1.0
+ auth    requisite       pam_nologin.so
+ auth    required        pam_env.so
+ @include common-auth
+ @include common-account
+ session required        pam_limits.so
+ @include common-session
+ @include common-password
+ 
+ ## Added so that NetworkManager doesn't keep asking for Keyring password.
+ ## relies on having same password to keyring as login password.
+ auth optional pam_keyring.so try_first_pass
+ session optional pam_keyring.so
