OK, I see the problem. Actually, it's completely the contrary of what you said. ;-)
The button doesn't seem to check for PolicyKit authorizations when activated by keyboard, while it does when clicked using the mouse. So in your case this *appears* to work when you press Space, but it actually fails silently. The keyboard should also refuse to change this when you're not authenticated, by presenting you an authentication dialog. The fact that it fails silently comes from bug 599050. ** Summary changed: - Cant make auto login to Lubuntu + Password-less checkbox doesn't check authorizations when activated via keyboard ** Changed in: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Also affects: gst Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: gst Status: New => Confirmed -- Password-less checkbox doesn't check authorizations when activated via keyboard https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/599044 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-system-tools in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
