As you might expect, this is configurable in gdm.conf.
Yay! :)
My guess is that you should use circles, and vendors that have default
fonts without that symbol, they'll patch it back.
Any chance we can get a line added to the HIG "Text Entry Fields"
Guidelines that says something like:
* A text entry that is used for requesting a password from the user
should hide the contents of the entry by using a black circle (Unicode
0x25cf) for each character. Example:
gtk_entry_set_visibility (entry, FALSE);
gtk_entry_set_invisible_char (entry, 0x25cf);
Calum?
