I came across this bug while I was trying to log into
Anathema.... The error message stating "unable to attach home
directory" (or something like that) is printed in the console window.
Unfortunately, the default login window covers enough of the console
window so that the error message is hidden. Also, the default login
window does not seem to be running any sort of a window manager.... I
could not move the console window into view.
A possible solution would be to either shorten the default
login window so that the user can see the console window, or have the
default login window run a window manager so that the user can move
the console window into sight.
