Unable to browse for other directories in 'Global face dir' combobox in Login Window

[Andy.hall06]

In system>administration>login window, in the last tab - users, the global face directory defaults to /faces but if you somehow try to change it, there is no way to go back into a sub directory, all you have as options are the places and folders that would be displayed in your nautilus side pane. There is no way to change or select specific directories.

It also sometimes changes at random to different directories when you browse around for the default face right above it.

I can confirm the odd behaviour of the 'Global face dir' combo box, at least in Jaunty.

I believe this is not a 'paper cut', an issue likely to effect the average user their first day using Ubuntu 9.10, but rather is a bug limited to a relatively small population of 'advanced' users who configure this particular aspect of their gdm setup.

To read more about criteria for the "One Hundred Paper Cuts" project see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut

Don't worry, this is still a valid bug, just not within the scope of the "One Hundred Paper Cuts" project.

Thank you for your bug report, the option and the configuration dialog are deprecated in karmic so that's not going to change

closing the bug since the issue is deprecated in karmic
