Product: kdebase
Component: kdebase
Summary: Login screen doesn't allow me to type in user name

Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED

(This probably belongs to another Product/Component but I'm not familiar with
everything; please reassign as appropriate, thanks.)
The login screen does not let me type in a user name. I wanted to test another
user's solution to my network problem (bug 894 which was to login as root and
see if the sis900 network card would work), but I cannot! Please allow me to
type the username, and provide buttons for users to click on names as well (like
9.1 beta 2 had, I believe).
I found the workaround for this: in the KDE desktop, menu: K, Configuration,
KDE, System, Login Manager, then on the Users tab, deselect the checkbox under
“Hidden Users” for user root. However, this is a lot of steps to do this,
whereas before you had the option of typing the username or clicking on the
user’s icon. Please bring this behavior back as the default.
This is Mandrake Linux 9.1 beta 3.
