It is not that the dialog is not closing at all. My problem is with the
modal version of the dialog through gnome-shell that does not allow me
to copy a password from my password manager into the dialog without
having it already in the clipboard.

For example when setting up a new account in evolution or evolution
sometimes forgets passwords for some reason and a dialog to enter the
google password for one or more of my many calenders appears. This
dialog however blocks the whole screen so I can't open my password
manager. 

What I would like to have back is a normal window so I can still open my
password manager even when an application asks for a password or a WIFI
key as another example.

Cheers,

Michael

Annoying blocking password dialogs

2013-09-13 Thread Michael Flaig
Hi again,

anyone have an idea how to disable the blocking password dialogs of
gnome-shell?

I think it is greatly annoying when the password dialog comes up and you
can't do anything anymore, because opening the password manager and
copying the password you can't possibly remember would be the thing one
would absolutely want in that case. How are you working around this?

Cheers,

Michael
