From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: Cancelling the gui password change box produces an 'Unknown Error' message popup. A cosmetic annoyance. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open RedHat->Preferences->Password 2.Click cancel / close window button Actual Results: Password dialog appears, vanishes, then an error dialog pops up after cancelling. Expected Results: Error dialog should not be presented to the user. Additional info:
I noticed something similar. "Preferences"->"Password" , don't enter anything, click "Cancel" : The dialog disappears and reappears. Click "Cancel" again, the same thing happens. Click for the third time , then it finally goes away. Not error dialog is displayed. I think I did this as root, not sure though.
bug 75834 says pressing OK without a password gives the same error message. I couldn't replicate the behaviour described in comment #1.

This is present in Red Hat Linux 9, starting in usermode 1.67. It didn't happen in the 1.65 version from phoebe beta 3. I don't think there was a publically available 1.66 version, and have no idea if it worked there or not. :) Should the Version for this bug be updated? More precisely, with usermode 1.65, you get a "The password you typed is invalid. Please try again", which is also not really correct for having clicked cancel. If you press OK without entering a password, it tries to authenticate using a blank password. This is probably actually correct. Also, it's not merely the password change applet -- it's anything usermode is used for.
The error-on-cancel problem appears fixed in usermode 1.68 in rawhide.

Yes, it seems to be fixed. I can't reproduce in Fedora Core.

unless someone objects, i'm closing this -- it works in FC2 no problem.
