Package: gcr
Version: 3.8.2-4
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
Hi.
Apparently gcr-prompter (well I guess it is this)... seems to have the
"nice" effect of stealing mouse and keyboard focus, when a "enter password"
dialog is open.
So I cannot even start a terminal, or switch to an existing one and kill the
crap.
To me this happens when Evolution (as so often) forgets out of the blue all
of it's configured passwords and wants me to reenter them.
critical/breaks unrelated software ... well because it does just that...
I cannot use/control other software anymore, once this kicks in.
Cheers,
Chris.

I did not see a problem with what you described in the bug report
(which mostly was filled with your own personal opinions rather
then objective information).
I've asked GNOME and X experts for opinions and their
response was that it's a normal design pattern for password
dialogs et.al. to grab the keyboard to prevent sensitive information
to be mistakenly entered in the wrong window (and posted on IRC?),
as a security means.
I'm thus closing your bug report as the application works as
intended.
Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
