login window does not have input focus

[Tormod Volden]

Binary package hint: gdm

This is a usability regression that appeared in the last 1-2 days (and before the xorg-server update).

At the login window, the mouse pointer is on my name, but I can not just press Enter and type in my password like before. Now I have to click once, then I can press Enter.

Expected behaviour: The login list has keyboard focus, so that I can press Enter (or arrow keys if I do not want the first user) and type password (and Enter again). I should not need to use the mouse to log in.

I can confirm this behaviour. It's a bit annoying.
