Even strange, does not affect security.

I think cpbl is right. I sometimes see usernames flicker for a while
too. I couldnt imagine how GDM could know the passwords? Left in the
history? Special exploit to decode from hashes using dictionary
attacks?:D none of the above is feasible
However, strange things happen sometimes. Diego, if
Could anybody with a slow box could try that on dapper?

Are your passwords identical to your usernames?
I've a Pentium4 with Dapper. Clicking on the name briefly displays the
*username* before giving an empty password box. I can't reproduce anything like
the viewing of number of bullets though.

Hard to believe that, passwords are stored as SHA1 hashes, even if buggy
gdm would want to display them, it couldnt ;)
