The "Go" button on WDM's login screen does not behave as users expect.
If the user presses it after entering her username, it causes and
immediate authentication check rather than prompting for a password.
This fails, of course.

This behavior is confusing. The "Go" button should behave identically to
the return key. I.E., if user clicks "Go" after entering username, WDM
should prompt for password. If the user clicks it after entering the her
password, WDM should start the authentication check.

This is more than confusing; it means that you *cannot* login into this
graphical window manager with the "usual" mouse actions.

Either the password fields must be displayed from the start, or the must
be a mouse action to enter only the name, and get the password field.

Personally, I think this should be of important severity, maybe even RC,
but since it has rotten in the BTS as wishlist for so long, I only
switch to normal - maybe there are reasons I don't see at the moment.
