--- Comment #4 from Harald Sitter <sit...@kde.org> ---
Thiago informed me that this isn't really portable. Winids shouldn't be sent to
other applications on wayland which likely is why this isn't working.
With that in mind I doubt this can get fixed. Plus this API isn't actually
working with any agent other than the plasma one anyway, we literally feed it
the winid over dbus manually and also in a way that is equally !re-entrant as
bug #379215

There may be an opportunity to rethink how the auth dialog works in general
though, it really shouldn't be a regular dialog window and it even more
shouldn't be transient to a random window. Because of how the dialog works
currently there's a whole bunch of focus stealing problems and by extension
probably some security concerns as well. Other systems (notably windows and
gnome come to mind) the auth requests are blocking (covering the entire screen)
and always take precedence over anything else going on window-wise. They are
much closer in behavior to the lock screen than a random dialog.
