Description William Jon McCann 2006-02-21 16:33:26 UTC 
Might be preferable to use a circle instead of '*' for invisible character in unlock dialog.  XP and OSX do something like this and GDM can be configured to use it as well.

We are currently in UI freeze so I'll have to ask for approval.
Comment 2 William Jon McCann 2006-02-24 15:41:23 UTC 
I committed a slightly modified patch that only sets the invisible char if it is currently set to '*'.  This allows systems that have patched gtk to be consistent.
