2009-11-20 23:29:19 Josh Holland summary Text "authentication failure" overly geeky Text "authentication failure" too vague
2009-11-20 23:30:21 Josh Holland description Binary package hint: gdm The term "authentication failure" is not a particularly user-friendly message for when the user has entered an incorrect password, and provides no real extra information that the user might want to know. It would be a very small matter to change the string to "password incorrect" or something similar.
