Bug description:
I'm loath to report this as a bug, since it is functioning as
designed, but I can't really find a better place to submit my
complaint. I'm running 9.04 Netbook Remix, and if I run a GUI
application and do something requiring sudo privileges, I receive a
password prompt that blocks access to any other windows on the screen.
Fine and good, but because of a disability, my only means of keyboard
input is the OnBoard on-screen keyboard. My only recourse for such
basic tasks as installing updates and adding packages is to pull out
the terminal, hope I can find the pertinent command, and sudo it so I
can give my password via terminal. This rather negates the convenience
of doing these things from the GUI.
Naturally, the expected behavior is that I be able to use OnBoard to
enter my password into the prompt.
Any other user who uses an on-screen keyboard or other GUI-based
application for keyboard input will be susceptible to this issue. I
imagine there are a fair number.
