[Bug 498295] [NEW] Kubuntu password field in login screen does not always have focus by default

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

In Kubuntu Karmic the password text field sometimes does not have focus
by default, even though the cursor is blinking. The user must select the
input field before being able to type your password.

This is a usability problem because:
1) the cursor implies the input field is in focus and is a hint that the user should type their password
2) if the input field is not selected, the user may type their password without success, generating a user error
3) 99% of the type the user is going to simply type their password and having to select the input field is an extra step

This should be fixed so that the password input box always has keyboard
focus on boot.
