Re: [Policykit] No possibilty to unlock the save option in Gedit while trying to modify xorg.conf

Gedit should notice you when you open a file with it that you can't
write to. Preferably in a nonintrusive way, like those yellow bars
that are shown for some other messages at top of the window.

  i've made some changes in it and pressed the save button (which was

  I think that :
  either the save button should not be active (at less)
  either the user should have the possibilty to give the password to be
  able to save the file (that would be perfect to me)

But isn't this a problem with PolicyKit and not Gedit?

AFAIK PolicyKit already allows to do this, gedit just needs to use it to
get the adequate rights.

This is a good idea, but ubuntu-devel-discuss is IMHO not the best place
to talk about that. Please report a bug (wishlist) on
http://bugzilla.gnome.org to the gedit product: they'll see what they
can do. Here we can just agree, but nobody codes directly into gedit.

Bug 524199 – When password is needed to modify a file, Gedit should
ask user to give its password instead of saying you can't save
modifications
