Bug Description

Normally, the 'Password:' prompt is placed above the entry box in the gdm login
screen,
however, if you're using libpam-krb5, the prompt is too long and appears to wrap
so most
of it is partially behind the entry box. The included url is a screenshot of this in
action. It happens every time, with hoary and with warty. The box in question is
an amd64
machine, with hoary uptodate as of today. I've seen this same bug on hoary/i386,
warty/i386,
warty/amd64 and warty/ppc.

Ug. What horrible formatting. Sorry. I've also realised that
the url field is rather useless and out of the way, so here's
