Package: gdm
Version: 2.6.0.4-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
I tried having an user whose last name as it was in the /etc/passwd
had an "u (u with dots in top). The standar greeter with faces
option kept crashing and then it starts with the graphical greeter and
no faces. I edited the passwd to leave a normal u and the problem was
gone.
By the way, I do have installed xfonts-intl-european (which is not
even in the suggested requirements).
If you think that this bug should be downgraded to wishlist, I won't
mind... but remember that there are a lot of people with strange
characters in their names:D.
Thanks a lot!
Patricio
