As of this writing my system is up-to-date in terms of package updates via the Update Manager. Happy to provide any further information as it is important for me to be able to setup auto-login. I also disagree with Sebastien's comment on 2009-11-01 at this being only a corner case affecting one person. I wouldn't imagine the Login Screen dialog to be an often-accessed feature by most average users and therefore the bug would not get as much exposure as, say, a bug in Firefox.
