I confirm that this bug exist in Edgy and Feisty, but not in Gutsy which
seems properly fixed and works exactly as expected with any ascii
characters I've tested so far. Also note that Feisty doesn't accept 5
characters password but Edgy does.

Result of the test on Feisty :

"Configured password" : "Password typed at login screen" = "Access
granted or refused"

pippoo : pippoo = Access granted
pippoo : pippooàèìòù = Access granted
pippoo : àpippoo = Access refused
àpippoo : àpippoo = Access refused ( special case, look the attached screenshot 
)
àpippoo : pippoo = Access refused 

Note that sudo always work as expected, even when user password is set
to pippooà, so this bug is clearly a GDM bug on the login screen. The
password is properly saved but non-ascii characters aren't managed
properly into the login screen.
