[Bug 1801447] [NEW] Boot-time login screen image lingers too long after password accepted

[Scott Cowles Jacobs]

Public bug reported:

First, when logging in from the boot screen, there is no indication that the password entered was accepted.
The image remains on the screen what seems a long time.

So long, that eventually, the boot screen image ends up sharing the
screen with the panel as it is displayed, only disappearing when the
desktop/icons are finally displayed.

See attached photos.

They are both after the panel has displayed, the second after one or
more additional notifications (system tray?) appear.

(Sorry about the quality of the photos - Since it had not yet finished
logging in, I assumed I would not be able to invoke screengrab fast
enough to catch the image I needed...)

Curiously, this effect does not occur when logging in after logging out
- just when logging in from a [re-]boot...
