Bug Description

My machines is joined to an AD domain.
When I lock the screen and there are notifications that the password is about to expire, I cannot log in. I have to choose log in as different users and type the full domina/username before I am able to log in.
If there are no password notifications then everything works as it should.

This is not a papercut as this is a complex bug report that everyday users won't encounter on a default installation, but probably a more complicated issue with 'gnome-screensaver'. I'm marking this bug as Invalid for the One Hundred Paper Cuts project and will open a new task for gnome-screensaver.
