It took me 6 months to figure out a non-mouse method to 'login' and even then I find it very in-convenient! Note I don't use gnome window manager at any other time! I don't even know why they even considered a window manager was necessary for a dedicated login screen! It never used to be the case before this. To me it just provides something else that could break, or be 'hacked' on the login screen.
