[patch] No echo password entry

[Nathanael Law <njlaw xyrodian net>]

Hello all,

If anyone else is interested in disabling the password echo at login, I
have a patch for this feature.  It adds the UseSecureEntry option below
the UseCirclesInEntry options in gdm.conf.  It also add support for
editing this option via the gdmsetup program.  The patch was generated
against 2.4.2.96, but it works against the latest CVS.

The patch may be applied as follows:
~/src/gdm-2.4.2.96$ patch -p0 gdm-2.4.2.96+noPasswordEcho.diff

I would like to see this feature in the distributed version of GDM.  Is
there anyone else who supports this?  Also, what is the proper procedure
for submitting such a patch?

Thanks,
