upstream comment

"This seems a feature of GDM rather than a bug.

For gdmlogin, refer to the code gdm/gui/gdmlogin.c in the function 
gdm_timer_up_delay

For gdmgreeter, refer to the code gdm/gui/greeter/greeter_item_timed.c in the
function in a similar function gdm_timer_up_delay.

It seems that GDM assumes that if you start typing, that it should reset the
timer to at least 30 seconds to give the user a more reasonable chance to
successfully interact with the dialogs.

I don't feel strongly that this "feature" is meaningful.  If someone wanted to
rewrite this code so that it is smarter or works better, we can discuss.  Also
might be nice to move such common code into the gdm/gui/gdmcommon.c file rather
than having duplicate code in both the gdmlogin and gdmgreeter codebase."

do you really consider the behaviour as buggy?
