Public bug reported:
After each login a dialog box appears to enter the password of my gmail
mailbox. However even if I type the correct password, the dialog box
reappears. It seems it's totally unimportant if I type the correct or
some incorrect password. The only thing which helps is to cancel the
dialog box two times. The more important problem however: the dialog box
does not appear immediately after the login, sometimes dozens of seconds
pass. If I open some application, terminal, etc, it can cause problems
especially if the app is in fullscreen mode: then the dialog box made
the desktop unusable, I can't change between windows, I can't type, etc
(I have to switch to text console, and stop/start lightdm to cure the
problem ... the other workaround is to wait after the login the dialog
box to appear cancel it two times and then I can work, but that's a bit
hmmm odd). I know the problem is with the dialog box, as I can see
"through" the terminal window, since it's set to be somewhat
transparent.
It's in this way since upgraded to 13.10 (and now in 14.04 too), one of
the main motivation to upgrade to 14.04 was to avoid this very annoying
feature. However it seems it's still a problem.
Unfortunately I have no idea which app/setting/etc made the system to
ask this password and why the correct password is not accepted :( Only
today I got some hint by swithing into text console and digging in the
process list. It seems there is a process which onky can be found during
this problem: /usr/lib/gcr/gcr-prompter
That's why I send this report against the gcr package as it seems to own
that file.
