When gdm first comes up, 3 dialog prompts in a row for root password. If you press cancel on the first one then they go away. "Authentication required for color device" or some such.. reproduce: 1. Install 12.1 M3: Select xfce as desktop environment (i'm guessing GNOME would have the same issue also) 2. Initial boot. 3. gdm loads and then prompt is shown. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

When it is turned on, *several* root password prompts appear: one for each monitor, one for each profile for each monitor, and then a few more related color-management ones too. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
