Public bug reported:
This might affect PAM and/or nslcd instead, but lightdm should be able
to cope with it.
We have our users in an OpenLDAP directory, and I have disabled the user
list from lightdm. Some people seem to have the habit of waking the
monitor by pressing the spacebar, thus entering their username with a
preceding whitespace.
I have a line like this in syslog;
nslcd[2624]: [ac3ac4] username changed from " haneliuh" to "haneliuh"
The expected behaviour would be to just reject the login attempt and
return back to the login windows. Instead, lightdm now just hangs. If
one changes to a text console and back the lightdm login windows remains
all light grey.
