Title:
  Greeter displays password expiry message, then vanishes

Status in gdm package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gdm

  I have password aging enabled, and it's getting close to password
  change time. When I login, the greeter displays the " Warning: your
  password will expire in 6 days" message, then vanishes before I can
  read the message. It should persist for a few seconds so I can read
  the message (if any message has been posted).
