 the issue is a bit weird

 - is there anything special about your account or the way it's 
 authentificated there?

No, it happens when clicking on any account.

 - does it happen with other accounts too?
 - did you tweak the gdm configuration at some point to not show the user list 
 or something?

Not that I remember, I'm not sure what I've confused here - the user
list (ie. list of accounts) is always displaying correctly? It's the
password that I'm not being prompted for as above?


 could you also look in syslog if there any error displayed? does it

I couldn't see find anything relevant.

 happen if you use enter to select the user rather than clicking? a
 screenshot of the language question could be useful too if you can take
 a photo or something

Sorry for the incredibly bad quality but:

 Thank you for your bug report. Do you still get the issue? You click on
 your username and don't get asked for a password is that the issue, the
 description is not so clear about it. Does it happen every time you try
 to select an user on first try?

Hi Sebastien,

I just went and checked (it's my wife's computer). Here are the details:

It happens every time the machine is started.

The login screen displays the 3 accounts as well as an Automatic login
(with a small timer). But if I click *my own* account, I am not
prompted for my password, instead I am asked to select a language and
click Login (as if it was a guest or automatic account itself?).

To work around this, I can either:

1) Simply click login, which will take a few seconds before it brings
up the account list again and I click on my account and am prompted
for my password as per normal, or
2) click on cancel, which displays the account list again and I click
on my account and am prompted for my password as per normal.

Hope that helps.
