When user attempts to change password to a palindrome, gnome-about-me
hangs indefinitely, but can be cancelled.
`passwd` correctly warns about palindrome passwords, but this rare case
is not handled by the GUI.
Tested today (2/28/2008) on Gutsy 7.10.
Steps to repeat:
System->About Me>Change password -> [Authenticate] ->
Type any palindrome, such as 'panamanap' or 'toot' into both new
password boxes, and press enter or click 'Change password'
The system should give a warning about palindrome passwords and allow
user to try a new password. Instead, it gives the appearance of working
in the background while not actually doing anything.
