Title:
  GDM does not show password expiration or offer password change
  functionality.

Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  If a user's password is expired like so:

  sudo chage -d 0 username
  or
  sudo passwd -e username

  On a login attempt at gdm:

  * no message or prompt is shown that the password is expired and needs to be 
changed, with fields offered to change the password
  * login screen is shown again

  Possible workarounds I'm looking at are:

  * disable gdm service, force user to change pw at cli, re-enable gdm, this 
makes it difficult for end user
  * change user default session to something very minimal, show zenity prompts 
to change password after login
