It seems this happens when composite is on and the option 'Display shadows under popup windows'is turned on, leave that option unchecked and it works as it should, one user in above mentioned thread also noticed replacing gksudo with gksudo -g worked. -- password dialog box hangs

Telecaster72 - i can't use the 'nv' driver - as i recall X wouldn't even load with that driver. for whatever reason every reboot on this machine i would have to redo the video setup - with nvidia's official installer with no window manager running. now i don't have to do that any more... i'm not

It is not the Nvidia driver that is the cause, it might be the composite manager of xfce, it works using the nvidia driver if i have composite turned off, and with the nv driver the same thing happens, so that leads me to believe it has something to do with XFCE' s composite manager. That would

ok i will experiment with that now. compiz uses a different manager than the one in xubuntu, yes indeed - i remember reading about all that somewhere, although i don't remember the specifics. -- password dialog box hangs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/152855 You received this bug notification

after testing, display compositing is definitely the source of this problem. tested with it off and on, and when it is off, no problems. when it's on, the dialog box hangs as it did before. -- password dialog box hangs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/152855 You received this bug notification

so i switched to KDE because XFCE was slowing my systems down. i originally tried it because it was supposed to be for low-end computers, so i figured it would run like a dream - it hasn't, and KDE has been much more responsive (especially the password dialog boxes) so thanks, you can close this

Yes that is correct. It was suggested I remove two pieces of hardware that I don't use (a PCI netgear wifi card and a tv tuner that is of very poor quality). This hardware was present in Feisty, and this problem was not. I will remove the hardware and post back. -- password dialog box hangs
