           Summary: [enhancement] auto-completion in gdm field login
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdm
        AssignedTo: seb128 at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: DXpublica at telefonica.net
         QAContact: desktop-bugs at lists.ubuntu.com


A good enhancement for gdm in a computer with hundreds of users were
auto-completion of the login name when user type anything in gdm login field.
The auto-completion could be made searching in login name, true-name of users
and mail address.

For example,
if we have 3 users:

(#1) tom; Tom W. Scott; tom at scott.com
(#2) tom2; Tom A. Smith; j at gmail.com
(#3) mamen; Maria Encarna García Fuster; maria at garcia.fuster.info

when a user puts "tom" in gdm name, autocompletion shows list with users #1 and
#2. So user selects apropiate item or continues to press more keys. When a user
puts "tom@", then automatically, gdm substitutes "tom@" by "tom" in login field.
And when a user puts "Maria Encarna", then gdm substitutes that for "mamen" in
login field.

It's useful for computer with several users and for more easy search of users.


Thanks,
Xan.
