Description Andrei ILIE 2011-04-01 14:29:51 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.5) 
OS:                Linux

When needing privilege escalation, in most cases the root passord dialog appears hidden beneath the already opened windows. You have to raise it manually (if you observ it in the taskbar).

Reproducible: Sometimes




Is this a QT issue ?

Maybe related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=268988 ?
Comment 2 Christoph Feck 2011-04-01 18:01:24 UTC 
It is a design flaw in KAuth. The authorization dialog is not modal to the application that requests the authorization.
Comment 3 Andrei ILIE 2011-04-03 14:21:09 UTC 
Is a KAuth bug already opened with this issue so we can mark this as a dupe ?
Comment 4 Beat Wolf 2011-04-05 22:54:23 UTC 
or at least change the product, because plasma is wrong, but i couldn't find the kauth product on bko
Comment 5 Andrei ILIE 2011-04-05 23:07:57 UTC 
"plasma" product is ok and the component seems to be "widget-kickoff", but I don't have enough privileges to modify it ...
Comment 6 Martin Flöser 2011-12-08 20:06:26 UTC 
Changing to policykit as I think the change has to be done there.
Comment 7 Ragnar Thomsen 2013-11-25 15:20:24 UTC 
Still happening in 4.11.3 with polkit-kde-agent-1-0.99.0. This bug should be fixed as it has been around for a long time.
