Package: bzr-gtk
Version: 0.97.0-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/bzr-notify
When I logged in (via gdm into a gnome desktop), I was confronted by a
demand for my password, from a small window produced by bzr-notify.
This window did not say why it wanted my password, or even what
program generated it. Now, I've been brought up well, and I'm not
the kind of guy who goes around typing passwords into just any window
that wanders by. But, the window captured all keyboard input and
would not go away.
For instance, I could use my mouse to create a terminal window,
but it was never selected, and no typing appeared in it. Clicking
on the [x] box of the rogue window made it disappear for a fraction
of a second, but it came right back, at least 10 times. I was
forced to use ctrl-alt-f2 to get a proper console so I could
use ps and kill.
Bad form. This is Linux: we don't want to train impressionable
novices that they should type their passwords into a box,
just to make it go away. We don't want password boxes without
explanations. We don't want windows that appear and hijack the
keyboard, not unless you specifically ask for them.
