Dear package maintainers,

this bug is really annoying if one runs gnome-shell on e.g. students' pool computers.
With thousands of users it's mandatory to disable user list.
Due to this bug, the users may expose their password at login not only to a kibitzer,
but also to the authentication log files where it gets stored in plain text.

I applied the mentioned patch to version 3.14.2-3 of gnome-shell which now runs without problems
on all our desktops for a couple of weeks now.

Does this bugfix qualify for the next point release?

ciao
Christian
