I can confirm this on Intrepid as well.

It seems to be related to libpam-thinkfinger's use of uinput.  libpam-
thinkfinger creates a uinput device to send a EV_KEY/KEY_ENTER press and
release.  This event _should_ emulate the enter key being pressed after
a finger swipe so that the user does not have to press it manually.

I don't see any errors in the pam debug output about sending the enter
event.  Either libpam-thinkfinger is misusing uinput somehow or GDM is
not processing the key event (maybe it's blocking focus on the password
prompt textbox?).

Jon Oberheide
