Public bug reported:
1. Steam.exe (the Valve software distribution channel) is set to load as one
of my startup applications (under wine, of course).
2. One of my other startup applications is "gksudo firestarter", which loads
firestarter with root privileges.
3. I boot my computer.
Now, Steam manages to load before my wireless network has had a chance
to connect, so Steam gives an error and offers to retry or work in
offline mode. Meanwhile, gksudo has darkened the rest of the screen and
is requesting a password, and has the keyboard's focus. But the gksudo
password input window is entirely behind the Steam error window.
Steam's window cannot be moved and its buttons don't work while the
gksudo password prompt is active. So in order to proceed, I need to
type my password into an imaginary password entry prompt (it looks as
though I'm typing the password into Steam). The Steam window should be
behind the password entry box (or gksudo should place itself in front of
Steam).
Karmic alpha 3, latest everything.
[Please correct my package choice.]
