(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.
