I just installed 9.1RC2 - bug 1366 is still there.   Had to do the work-around listed 
below to get
the user name and password login windows to show.

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.
