Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gdm

If the GDM user list (face browser) is disabled, then the user is only
presented with a "Log In" button, rather than a username and password
entry field.  Disabling the user list is a requirement in an enterprise
environment, and lacking the username and password entry field is a
significant, and negative, change in the login experience.  In face, I
find the Karmic login experience document defines what the login screen
should look like, and this does not match:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Specs/Karmic/LoginExperience#Login
screen with username/password manual entry

The mockup on that page would be perfectly acceptable.

This requirement to click Log In combined with the non-disabled search
box described in bug 463026 leads to a very bad user experience where
the user may think they are typing in their username and password, but
rather, they are searching a non-existent user list and their password
gets displayed on screen in clear text.

This appears that it may be related to gnome bug
