Title:
  about-me control center applet freezes forever when I'm trying to
  change password

  Fix Released
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:

Status in Baltix GNU/Linux:

Bug description:
  I've set password of one user in my system to empty (removed all symbols in
  /etc/shadow password field) and told him, that he must change password when he
  will login first time. After few days this user told, that he can't change
  password, because about-me control center applet freezes forever when I'm trying
  to change password :(
  This bug is 100% reproducible:

  1. login with some user
  2. removed all symbols in /etc/shadow password field for that user
  3. Choose System->Settings->"About Me" and then press on "Change Password.." button
  4. Don't enter anything in "Old password" field (because password is empty - try
  to login in console for testing) and enter new password twice.

  Actual results:

  About-me control center applet freezes forever when trying to change
  password

  Expected tesults:

  1. About-me control center applet's "Change Password" dialog should'nt ask for
  old password if there are no password (password is empty) - "Change Password"
  dialog shouldn't display field "Old password" or this field should be disabled
  in this dialog if there are no password (password is empty). Command-line tool
  for password changing - passwd command does exactly what user expect - it
  doesn't ask for old password (current password), when password is empty.
  2. About-me control center applet should'nt freeze forever when trying to change
  password :)
