Not only that, but I _constantly_ do this in GDM:
type in username, <tab> grr... (it inserts a TAB char instead of moving to
the next field).  I had almost kicked myself of this habit, and then
Ximian Desktop 2 fixed that Tab key... but apparently that change hasn't
made out of ximian's version...

(I don't think that either of these changes would exactly destabalize the
beta, but I wonder how the button would work with regards to the existing
GDM themes).
