Description Calum Benson 2003-07-18 15:47:03 UTC 
The fact that the window spontaneously resizes is somewhat disorienting
(e.g. after re-entering your username following a failed login, or after
selecting your name from the face browser), and could be even moreso for a
user with some visual or cognitive impairment, e.g. if they're using the
screen magnifier to interact with the login prompt. Would be nicer
therefore if that didn't happen :)
Comment 1 George Lebl 2003-07-20 19:43:26 UTC 
Starting with a larger default size would probably minimize this. 
Should investigate this.
Comment 2 Calum Benson 2003-07-31 21:07:23 UTC 
Marking AP3 to reflect a11y team's assessment of impact.
Comment 3 Calum Benson 2003-08-07 16:16:42 UTC 
Apologies for spam... marking as GNOMEVER2.3 so it appears on the official GNOME
bug list :)
Comment 4 Gabriel de Perthuis 2004-07-08 19:50:54 UTC 
I don't know if this is the same bug, but when I change screen resolution in
gnome, for a lower resolution than the standard X resolution for example, gdm
doesn't get resized and part of it is hidden under my screen. gdm should resize
with the screen as all other apps.

Apologies for spam-- ensuring Sun a11y team are cc'ed on all current a11y bugs.
 Filter on "SUN A11Y SPAM" to ignore.

Now fixed in CVS head.  I added default sizes to the various label widgets so
the gdmlogin screen should start up with enough size for the various labels to
display their messages without needing to resize.
