Bug Description

Binary package hint: gdm

The window for the Login Screen Settings window can be resized. However, its contents don't scale to the new size, and in normal use, would not need to be resized. As such, I think that the window should have a fixed size relative to its contents.

This bug was fixed in the package gdm - 2.28.0-0ubuntu1

---------------
gdm (2.28.0-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * New upstream release (LP: #434354)
    - Now GDM supports the ability to specify the automatic/timed login user via
      a script via the same interface that the old GDM supported.
    - Now the user's dmrc and face image files are stored in /var/cache/gdm, so
      that the login process does not need to access the user's $HOME directory
      before authentication.
    - Fix the login GUI options widget so the language/session/layout choices
      are not reset after a failed login.
    - Fix language dialog so it does not crash if the user click's the "OK"
      button when no language is selected.
    - Fix to ensure that the login dialog regains focus after the language or
      layout dialogs are used.
    - The language dialog has improved logic to sort the language names more
      correctly.
    - Make sure to check error variable is not NULL before referencing it in the
      gdm-user-manager code.
    - Make sure to not print NULL strings since this causes crashes on some
      platforms.
    - Improve documentation.
  * debian/patches/09_gdmsetup.patch: updated:
    - Filter ConsoleKit system users (LP: #432271)
    - Make window size fixed (LP: #429206)
  * debian/patches/01_default_keyboard_layout_hal.patch,
    debian/patches/99_autoreconf.patch: updated.
