Package: gdm Version: 2.20.9-1 Severity: normal I constantly am annoyed by two problems with the font size used in the default Debian gdm theme (both stable and unstable):
1. The text entry box for username / password is not quite tall enough for the font used in it. Descenders (ie, the tail of "j") are cut off at the bottom. When entering the password, the circles that are displayed for each letter entered are also cut off at the very bottom. 2. If you use the gui to configure gdm, it prompts for the root password to be entered. This prompt is too wide for the login window, and gdm goes ahead and displays part of the words to the left and part to the right of the ¨window". -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gdm depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.27 Debian configuration management sy ii gksu 2.0.2-2+b1 graphical frontend to su ii gnome-session [x-sessi 2.22.3-3 The GNOME 2 Session Manager ii gnome-terminal [x-term 2.26.2-2 The GNOME terminal emulator applic ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.20-2 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.26.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libattr1 1:2.4.43-3 Extended attribute shared library ii libc6 2.9-19 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.8.8-2 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.14-3 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.80-4 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdmx1 1:1.0.2-3 X11 Distributed Multihead extensio ii libfontconfig1 2.6.0-4 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.9-5 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.4-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.20.4-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.26.0-1 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgtk2.0-0 2.16.3-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpam-modules 1.0.1-9 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam-runtime 1.0.1-9 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 1.0.1-9 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpango1.0-0 1.24.3-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii librsvg2-2 2.26.0-1 SAX-based renderer library for SVG ii librsvg2-common 2.26.0-1 SAX-based renderer library for SVG ii libselinux1 2.0.82-1 SELinux shared libraries ii libwrap0 7.6.q-18 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii libx11-6 2:1.2.1-1 X11 client-side library ii libxau6 1:1.0.4-2 X11 authorisation library ii libxdmcp6 1:1.0.2-3 X11 Display Manager Control Protoc ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxi6 2:1.2.1-2 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 2:1.0.3-2 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxml2 2.7.3.dfsg-1 GNOME XML library ii lsb-base 3.2-22 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii metacity [x-window-man 1:2.26.0-3 lightweight GTK+ window manager ii rxvt-unicode [x-termin 9.06-1 RXVT-like terminal emulator with U ii twm [x-window-manager] 1:1.0.4-2 Tab window manager ii xterm [x-terminal-emul 243-1 X terminal emulator ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-14 compression library - runtime Versions of packages gdm recommends: ii dialog 1.1-20080819-1 Displays user-friendly dialog boxe ii gdm-themes 0.6.2 Themes for the GNOME Display Manag ii whiptail 0.52.10-4 Displays user-friendly dialog boxe pn xserver-xephyr | xnest <none> (no description available) ii xserver-xorg 1:7.3+19 the X.Org X server ii zenity 2.26.0-1 Display graphical dialog boxes fro Versions of packages gdm suggests: ii libpam-gnome-keyring 2.26.1-1 PAM module to unlock the GNOME key ii locales 2.9-19 GNU C Library: National Language ( ii pm-utils 1.2.5-4 utilities and scripts for power ma -- debconf information excluded -- see shy jo
