Description Hakon 2002-04-12 15:20:20 UTC
Description of Problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How Reproducible: 


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start something that requires user authentication.
2. When the root password dialogue shows, put focus on another window
3. Type something

Actual Results: The output comes in the authconfig-gtk window, although it
hasn't focus


Expected Results: The output should come in whatever window that has focus when
you type


Additional Information: I'm not sure this is the correct component

I would rather see this than a user typing the root password into some "yahoo
messger" type window thinking they are typing into that..

btw..

you might try re-categorizing this to "consolehelper" i think thats what you
meant ;)

Hakon, this is a feature, not a bug. The reason is to prevent user to
type password to some window which could pop up and grab focus from
consolehelper.
