Title:
  change-password GUI is hanging-on

Status in GNOME Control Center:
  Expired
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

  I also reported this bug in gnome.org.
  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=637866

  
  OS: Ubuntu 10.4
  Steps:
     1. enter the current password in the Entry, and make it authenticated.
     2. enter "New password" and "Retype new password" with same words but short
  length.

  Usually, if the passwd is using the system built-in pam module (pam_unix.so),
  the returned failure message will contain the "short" keyword, so it is ok to
  show error in GUI. But if user configure the passwd to use other third-party
  pam module and the returned failure message did not contain all the hard-coded
  pattern in the first 64 bytes, the GUI will hang until to click "Close" button.

  Proposal:
       At least, if all patterns are missed, just show the original failure
  message from passwd to GUI.

  In static gboolean
  io_watch_stdout (GIOChannel *source, GIOCondition condition, PasswordDialog
  *pdialog)
  ...
      } else if (g_strrstr (str->str, "failure") != NULL) {
          /* Authentication failure */
          msg = g_strdup (_("Your password has been changed since you initially
  authenticated! Please re-authenticate."));

  ----> Here show the original message is perfered. Thanks!

  
          passdlg_set_auth_state (pdialog, FALSE);
      }
  }
