Binary package hint: bzr
If you run a bazaar command such as "bzr pull" for a launchpad repo it
needs you to specify a password (for your ssh key). bzr thus pops up a
gtk window prompting for the password. However, there are a few problems
here both with the strategy and the implementation:
1) You cannot give any other window focus until you have provided a
password to bzr (the bzr window steals focus and is set to "always on
top". This stops you from looking at another window (which might just
contain the password details you require!)
2) You cannot move the bzr window. (Same use case as above).
3) bzr still pops up this window even if you unset DISPLAY
This is unexpected behaviour. Conventially, the expectation would be that
bzr would drop back to prompting for the
password using a non-GUI non-echoing password prompt via the terminal.
