Description Mike McLean 2002-09-01 17:45:59 UTC

* usermode-gtk-1.60-1
* Milan-re0830.1

If you run userpasswd and change window focus, userpasswd keeps control of the
keyboard.  If userpassword gets obscured by another window, the user could
become very confused by the fact that they cannot type in the window that has
the focus.

userpasswd is even trapping keystrokes like alt-tab and ctl-alt-dn which are
used by the window manager and are not really sensible in a password.

This is still the case.  Is this a wontfix situation?
