Wrong username or password gives no error message

[ChristofferS]

1. Enter a correct username
2. Enter the wrong password.

Result: no error message, just a beep.

Expected result: error message and beep.

this is due to the gdm theme, I'm reassigning it

Mark, where do you want this error message to appear? Somewhere similar to the
capslock message would be ideal, but it can't be the same place (because these
messages are related, and may stomp on each other's turf), and we can't really
add more space for it in the login box area. Perhaps a red string sitting
between the ubuntu logo and login box area?

Try this on for size, right at the end of the file:

  <item type="label" id="pam-error">
     <pos x="50%" y="90%" anchor="c" />
     <normal font="Bitstream Vera Sans Bold 12" color="#f2562d"/>
     <text> </text>
  </item>

How's that look?

Looks great on Human, how about this on HumanCircle?

  <item type="label" id="pam-error">
     <pos x="98%" y="93%" anchor="se" />
     <normal font="Bitstream Vera Sans Bold 12" color="#f2562d"/>
     <text> </text>
  </item>
