Description palantir 2004-10-23 09:59:28 UTC

Version:           unknown (using KDE 3.3.1, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.4 20040623 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.4-r1, ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.8-gentoo-r3

This is a pretty annoying behaviour... Say I have konqueror open on desktop 2, and in that page there is a form which has stored passwords. I also have Kopete running. Then I exit KDE. When I log back in, I see the first desktop. In the meanwhile, while the session is being restored, konqueror opens in the second desktop, tries to access the wallet, and a password request opens at that desktop. I cannot see any hint that a prompt has been shown. After that kopete starts, and since there already is a request for wallet password on the second desktop, it just waits for that one to be processed. The result is that I tkink that kopete has just frozen, and kill it a few times, until the wallet says that Kopete is misbehaving. The only thing to do (if I don't by chance access the second desktop) is to restart KDE... and so on...

So the solution is to change desktops on you?

Comment 2 palantir 2004-11-05 20:59:09 UTC

I'd rather make the warning appear on the current desktop :-)

Comment 3 palantir 2004-11-05 20:59:43 UTC

(I mean the password request)

  That's a problem.  The dialog is bound to the caller window.  Then you'll 
have an app with a modal child dialog on another desktop.  I can't agree with 
that one.

Comment 5 palantir 2004-11-05 21:13:06 UTC

And how about a sticky window (I mean one of those that are displayed on all the desktops)?

  Good idea.  I'll do that right now.

CVS commit by staikos: 

Show the password dialog on all desktops, thereby avoiding a blocking dialog
on another desktop.  Seems to be the best solution according to the bug report
dialogue.
