Bug Description
Binary package hint: gdm
In the GDM and its theme used in the 9.10 alpha 5, the login box resizes its approximately four times during normal login.
This is disconcerting for the user as the boxes inside it become a "moving target", in addition the excessive resizing looks unprofessional.
Ideally, GDM should decided on a dialogue box size and *stick with it* for the duration; or change size a maximum of once at the point that no further user input is required.

Thank you for your bug report could you report the different changes you see? xsplash should be used until the login screen is displayed, the box change once when selecting an user and then xsplash starts again there...
