That is good news. :-)

Some time ago, I opened a RFE bug to make the possibility to use an 
onscreen keyboard more visible during GDM:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=463713#c2

The information of that thread might be outdated as I suppose that the 
enhancements will be targeted for the newly rewritten GDM. However, I 
decided to post the link, as there might nevertheless be some interest 
to have a look at it.
