Bug Description

Binary package hint: gdm

The new GDM screen requires the user to first select an account and then type the password. In my case, there is only one account, and the first thing I always do is naturally hit <enter> to select my account (which is already highlighted, by the way), but nothing happens. I must get a hand off the keyboard, grab the mouse just to click on my username and then put it back on the keyboard to type the password. I wish I didn't have to go through all this hassle just to login.
