[Bug 56442] GDM crashes when I press ENTER with empty Username field.

[Volanin]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gdm

In the GDM Login prompt, when I press ENTER for the first time with an
empty Username field, the Username string changes to complete garbage.
If I press ENTER again, gdm crashes.

This does NOT happen with the Password field.


Steps to reproduce:

1 - Get to the GDM login.

2- Type nothing in the Username field and press ENTER. Username string
changes to a corrupted one.

3- Type nothing and press ENTER again. GDM crashes.


Computer info:

- Acer 3624 notebook with Celeron-M 1.6GHz and 512MB RAM.
- Intel 915GM Express Integrated Video.


Operating System:

- Using Dapper with all updates.
- AIGLX enabled.
- Default GDM prompt.
- Just a single user created in the system.
