Description drago01 2011-04-23 10:19:03 UTC 
Description of problem:
Sometimes GDM just displays "other" instead of the user list after bootup,
which requires the user to type in the username manually which is really
annoying.

After logout it is seems to be fine (i.e shows the user list), which indicates
some kind of race between starting gdm and accountservice on bootup.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gdm-3.0.0-1.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot

Actual results:

No user list after bootup.

Expected results:

Userlist should be displayed.
