** Description changed:

  Admittedly minor, but the lightdm greeter just shows an empty white area
  of text for entering a password during login (on both my laptop and in
  guest VMs), so it isn't clear to the user that the password area is
  focused, ie ready to accept a password. Feedback *is* given as the user
  types characters in, but the lack of flashing cursor is a regression
  compared to gdm-greeter.
+ 
+ Note that you *never* get a flashing cursor, even if you click in the
+ password box (so it looks like the click hasn't worked).
