[Bug 701481] Re: Login picture missing

 

The above appears in syslog each time I login. I don't know much about
gtk or gdm but it would make sense if the greeter is having trouble
sizing the window properly.

The greeter window it creates is too small to fit the pictures of each
of us. After clicking a user and clicking cancel it shows the pictures
but in a scrollable pane. On natty, the whole greeter window was a
little bigger so that it exactly fit the pictures.

The warning:
"""Gtk-WARNING: Overriding tab label for notebook"""
appears 5 times (once for each row in the user list pane?). Perhaps this causes the subsequent problems with allocating the correct size?

For the particular syslog entry above, I clicked a user and cancelled so
that the greeter was displaying the pictures (in the pane that was still
too small). I think that happened between the times 21:05:18 and
21:05:28 without resulting in any messages so that the remaining
messages are all from when I clicked the user, entered the password, and
actually logged in.

Title:
  Login picture missing

Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gdm

  It doesn't happen all of the time but sometimes my user picture (face
  pic) is missing even though I do have one selected. (not a custom
  one... a selection from the defaults)

  Unfortunately I don't know why or how this happens.
