Title:
gnome-keyring-daemon password dialog provents screensaver to lock the
screen
Status in GNOME keyring services:
Fix Released
Status in “gnome-keyring” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnome-keyring
On some configurations, you must enter your password to unlock the
gnome-keyring, so a dialog pop ups asking for your password.
This dialog prevents the screen to lock, so after some inactivity the
computer will still be unlocked. This dialog grabs all the keyboard
input, but not all the mouse input, so you can still fiddle around an
do bad things.
Just after the dialog is closed (cancelled or accepted) the screen is
locked. If the dialog also grabbed the mouse input, this would solve
the security issue. But if someone is there inputting the password,
it's weird to lock the screen after some activity.
So, my proposal is simple: just lock the screen, ignoring this dialog.
I can't see a reason for this dialog to be blocking the screensaver or
whatever. This is causing some security and also usability issues.
