I am using Ubuntu 11.04 (in Poruguese, last updated today Sept.22nd,
with encrypted private folder): if I type at login the first part and
the last part of my password (say typing "Passy88()" instead of
"Passyforme88()") the system will allow me access, altough the display
of the graphical interface will be escrewed.
