Sorry I don't know where exactly the bug is located so I report it for gnome-shell:
If you log in in gnome and you have an encrypted device you will be asked immediately for the password (general a bad idea).
But this dialog is broken. It doesn't disappear whatever you click (abort, confirm) and grabs the input so you can't get rid of it.
=> total lockdown of gnome

Isn't this bug about unlocking encrypted disks? Nothing to do with gnome-shell.
