-------------------------------------------------------------

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install  gnome 2.6 on suse linux version 9.
2. start gnopernicus, requires logout & login. Re-start the gnopernicus & wait 
till you hear the speech. 
3. start mozilla web browser > a dialog prompt opens for proxy information.


Expected:
Prompt dialog contents such as " enter user name & password " should be read by 
the screen reader. It helps blind / low vision users.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1 Install  gnome 2.6 on suse linux version 9.
2. start gnopernicus, requires logout & login. Re-start the gnopernicus & wait 
till you hear the speech. 
3. start mozilla web browser > a dialog prompt  opens for login.




Actual Results:  
Observation:
Screen reader reads only title bar content  as " prompt " but does read the 
contents of the dialog.  It is  difficult for the blind / low vision user to 
know  that the prompt is for what? & he will not be knowing  what is next 
action to  be performed.



Expected Results:  

Prompt dialog contents such as " enter user name & password " should be read by 
the screen reader. It helps blind / low vision users.
