I noticed this bug too, instead of selecting "configure" a second time, you can
also press enter in the username field to be asked for root password.

Note: this is for 102-4mdk (not in list), but was present on previous versions
in cooker leading up to 9.2.

Try to configure GDM from the GDM login screen. Press F10 in the field, or click
on "Actions". Next, choose "configure login manager" in the menu or dialog.

GDM just beeps, when it should ask for the root password. If you immediately
select the "configure" option a sescond time (via either method above), then the
root password is requested.

This is a very popular/common feature. If it had a problem in the upstream
verison, I would expect bugs to appear on bugzilla.gnome.org. However, I have
not seen any such bug. Therefore, I'm filing it here because I surmise it to
potentially be a Mandrake problem.

If you'd like, I would be happy to open a bug upstream. I just wanted to see if
you could check locally first, to rule out it being some problem specific to Mdk.
