Bug Description

Testing with latest pre-release Breezy packages.

The Human themed greeter seems to be the default. At higher resolutions (I'm testing at 1920x1200) the login box and associated text is very small. I have good eyesight and have to squint to make sure I've typed my username properly and read error messages.

I think this might be a restriction of the theming system for GDM, but I'm not sure.

Thanks for your bug report. You should have filed it on 'gdm (Ubuntu)' rather than 'gdm (Upstream)', but anyways. This seems to be a duplicate of http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17739

Christoffer, that's not as simple as "doing something", you have to know what to do. I don't have any issue on my box so I'm not sure of what should be changed for other people

Jeff, do you have any opinion on that? Is that a theme issue?

Sorry, I didn't want to offend people. I just wanted to make sure that this bug wasn't buried in the pile of other bugs.

I'm a big Ubuntu supporter and I want Ubuntu to be as polished as possible. If I can help in any way, please say so.
