Bug Description

Binary package hint: gdm

I have password aging enabled, and it's getting close to password change time. When I login, the greeter displays the " Warning: your password will expire in 6 days" message, then vanishes before I can read the message. It should persist for a few seconds so I can read the message (if any message has been posted).
