Does anybody know where I can get the source code for pandora.  
I want to change just some parameter like the size and number  
of entrie per screen.

A while back the Pandora graphical login interface started
echoing passwd back. I have disabled it, but am now
wondering if others have had this happen to them, what the fix is
and what causes it. I am using a 4D20G under 3.3.1

It sounds like somehow your font directory has got screwed up.  Pandora uses
a font full of spaces (/usr/lib/fmfonts/space10.fm - I think) while you
are typing the password.  It sounds like your space10.fm has somehow become
a font with real glyphs.

Pandora uses this font so that it could use a standard text field from the
toolkit it uses.
