Bug#608475: autologin with delay!=0 does not work, and makes login impossible altogether
Package: kdm
Version: 4:4.4.5-3
Severity: normal
When using AutoLogin with a non-zero AutoLoginDelay, kdm
displays a greeter with a filled-in username and a greyed-out
password. That is all it does:
- Kdm does not start autologin after the specified delay.
- The password field is and remains greyed-out. The username
can be edited, but there is no way to enter a password.
Typing return also doesn't have any effect.
