I just did this and it works great, unless you type in the username wrong.
 I typed in the username wrong and press enter and it asks for a password,
but then there seems to be no way to go back and fix the username.  I click
cancel, ESC, many different things and all I get is a password input.
 This is xubuntu 12.04.  There has to be a way back - what is it?
