I believe lots of these problems are going to be solved by a version of gksu that is mainloop-based, and that uses the policykit framework for the actual authentication. How feasible is it for the Ubuntu guys to plan for a switch to gksu policykit at this point in time? http://live.gnome.org/gksu.
We can, of course, prepare work-arounds for this problem, with gksu disabling its keyboard-grabbing functionality if it detects that passwords as normal windows is turned on, but perhaps it's a good time to work on that switch. I'm planning to start working on it for Debian squeeze. (launchpad really wants me to attach a file, it seems =)) ** Attachment added: "a" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/22992235/a -- Assistive techologies: password dialogs as normal window + onscreen keyboard https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/314250 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
