--- Comment #7 from kde....@grau.net --- If it works like you describe it, then I don't think it has a parent window set in X11, either. At least for me, in X11 it always centers on the screen and is not displayed centered above in the application window, requesting the authentication. If I understand the way the integration of the polkit window works correctly, the requesting application asks for the authentication to performed via dbus. Therefore the polkit window is running in a separate process and doesn't have any information about the windows of the calling application. Hence, polkit cannot easily set the parent window. Imagine a command run on the commandline in konsole requesting authorization, for example "pamac" in Manjaro. That command doesn't even have any windows. If this command requests authorization, polkit would have to figure out that the command is run from within konsole and then find out, which of the Konsole windows it's run from. As this is quite complicated to get right and would probably require a lot of information passed on dbus between the applications and polkit, it's probably easier for polkit to just open the window centered on the screen. As I have only one screen, I wouldn't even know if polkit manages to display the window on the correct screen. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
