I'm going to go ahead and recommend a patch.

It says questions because the username and password are entered in the same Perhaps Enter login details here and press enter would be more appropriate. -- Username field contains nonsensical tooltip https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/70786 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 70786] Re: Username field contains nonsensical tooltip
Upstream comment: This is open for debate. The purpose of the F10 menu is to provide a list of features available to the user. It is present because some gdmgreeter themes do not have buttons to support features that may be turned on in the configuration file. In other words if reboot is turned on in GDM configuration, but the theme has no Reboot button, then there is no way to reboot without hitting F10 (or changing the theme to one that supports everything you might want to use). So, to support such themes that might be missing useful buttons, this is useful. Any ideas of how to better communicate this functionality to the user would be appreciated. Also, if the best approach is to use a tooltip on the entry field, should the wording be improved? As you point out the words questions and menu are probably poor word choices. maybe you could comment on the upstream bug? -- Username field contains nonsensical tooltip https://launchpad.net/bugs/70786 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Done. (Sorry for not reporting it upstream; I guessed it was Ubuntu- specific.) -- Username field contains nonsensical tooltip https://launchpad.net/bugs/70786 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 70786] Re: Username field contains nonsensical tooltip
There is a menubutton for that menu already. And if you can move the mouse to view the tooltip, you can move the mouse to click the menubutton without pressing F10. Tooltips are so-called because they're intended for toolbars, where space is too scarce to provide proper labels. If there was ever any program where this is *not* a problem, it's gdm. Half a dozen elements in the entire screen. -- Username field contains nonsensical tooltip https://launchpad.net/bugs/70786 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 70786] Re: Username field contains nonsensical tooltip
We can also at least change it to something like : Enter your username, then hit enter. You can access session/boot/action menu by the F10 key It would have more sense than the current one. ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed = Confirmed -- Username field contains nonsensical tooltip https://launchpad.net/bugs/70786 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
