figured out Gnome problem

[Sina Bahram]

Hi Janina,

I'll go read up on Gnome 2.8, but I was wondering what was allowing it to
have a speaking login process, where as the other previous versions could
not? This is pretty exciting actually...

Take care,
Sina

Indeed. Might have thought of this before, so am commenting on it now for
others.

Gnome (and perhaps other X Window environments) has a screen that will pop
up after you enter your password if the manager is unable to get to the
Internet for whatever reason. In a general sort of way it warns you that
some functionality may be unavailable and asks you to confirm that you want
to proceed without networking--or fix the problem and try again.

This is worth noting as it will come up especially for laptop users who may
not be connected to the net from time to time.

Of course, the real fix is a fully speaking login process. Fortunately, I
believe this is now possible with Gnome 2.8 which has shipped.
