ldm 3.4.6-1
The greeter says which lock keys are on, below the entry, the way a Windows login screen does.
Getting the password wrong because Caps Lock was left on is a common way to be locked out, and the greeter gave no hint of it. On a thin client it is worse than on a desktop: the lamp on the keyboard in front of the user is driven by the client's own X server and need not agree with the session at all.
- Reads GDK's keymap and follows its
state-changedsignal, so every change is reported — including the ones that do not come from typing — and there is nothing to poll. - Empty when neither lock key is on, and the label keeps its line height then, so the dialogue does not jump as the text comes and goes.
- Translated: Feststelltaste ist aktiviert, Num-Lock ist aktiviert.
- Named
#ldm-lockkeysso a theme can style it along with the other labels that sit on the background image. A theme with a dark background will want to add it to its rule — in the default near-black it would be unreadable.
