Bug Description
Binary package hint: gdm
When booting to gdm, I'm presented with a login screen that includes:
- a list of users, where the first user is highlighted
- a 'shutdown' button in the lower right-hand corner of the dialog.
If I *click* on the already-highlighted username, the dialog morphs and gives me instead a login button *in approximately the same location as the previous shutdown button*. This inconsistency is a *very* bad thing, and has caused me to inadvertently reboot my system on login numerous times since the new gdm greeter has landed in karmic.
The lower-right-hand corner of the dialog is almost always the location of the button for the "default" action, and I'm very strongly conditioned to expect this. Having "shutdown" as a default action is not reasonable.
