Bug ID: 414712
Summary: Visually highlight (root) password prompts and prevent
other windows to steal the focus
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: pos...@posteo.eu
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
Last time I used the Gnome shell I wanted to change the printer settings, which
opened a password prompt for the root user.
This prompt was visually focused by darkening the area gradually around this
password dialog plus it was no longer possible to interact with other windows
than this password dialog until I closed this prompt again.
It also prevented other apps to steal the focus.
Especially the last part would be really convenient for me for all kind of
password dialogs and would solve the following issue:
It sometimes happened to me that I was entering a password (eg Thunderbird's
master password), when another window opened and took away the focus, so that I
started typing in the wrong window.
The dimming effect can play nice with root user password prompts to highlight
their implication.
