In order to clarify this behavior, I've attached a screen video. I can reproduce this any time.

Beta1, the problem still persists:

When clicking on my name in the User Account screen, the font enlarges and the password manager freezes.

Why doesn't anybody look at that???

While using gnome-panel, I got a metacity crash with SIGABRT in _XEventsQueued() after reproducing this bug in Quantal. I reported it (it's still private, as it hasn't been retraced yet) at Bug 1048345.
