There was a small problem caused by a change in Qt3.3.

*** Bug 76847 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

The bug is marked as fixed, but in KDE 3.2.1 with Qt 3.3.1 the problem is still there. For example, the password prompt dialog is always hidden by the Kontact  window when I launch Kontact with the KNode module (because the KNode module asks for the password on startup).

If the bug was fixed only in HEAD, it's worth a backport because I saw some end-user completely lost by that.

Thanks for your attention!

Hi,

I do not know if this is the bug that is mentioned in the KDE 3.2.3 release notes:  Keep KWallet's password dialog above other windows

If so, one should add that not only the password-window should be raised but also the dialogue that asks whether an application is allowed to get access to kwallet once, always or to cancel the request. This window is still kept in the background.

I would like to vote for reopening this bug. In fact, it should be more than raised. It should be raised, focused, and placed on all desktops. Also, when it _does_ pop up, it needs to have (and keep) the keyboard focus. I have kmail and kopete in my session, so when I log in, it asks me for my kwallet password. However, I usually also have a konsole or kate window in my session. When KWallet comes up, it doesn't get the focus. I see the box and start typing ... into a clear text field. This, IMHO, is a Bad Thing(tm).

Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention, I'm on KDE 3.4

Agreed. In 3.4, the window does not take keyboard focus when composing e-mail with KMail. Bug should be re-opened.

same for 3.4.1 ! the password entry window is visible but does not have the focus automatically

This is happenning again in 3.5beta1.  I was also doing it in 3.4.2.  pinentry-qt works perfectly (steals focus with extreme prejudice) but kwallet's password entry just comes to the top of hte window stack... it does NOT steal keyboard focus and it should.  I have on more than one occassion almost typed my password into an IRC session.

Inapropriate focus is a general annoyance with most kde password dialogs. I once even mailed my gpg matra to a stranger before noticing what happened, and I was lucky enough to notice it at all IMHO.
