Public bug reported:
Firstly, thx for Feisty - it rocks. Here's how to trigger my minor
gripe...
1. Configure a wireless network using the Feisty network manager applet
2. Start a few applications
3. Save the session
4. log out.
5. log in
6. /usr/lib/gnome-keyring/gnome-keyring-ask will pop-up asking you for your
network password
7. Before you can put your password in, your other apps will then fire up
(firefox, thunderbird, gaim, etc)
8. You'll now observe that gnome-keyring-ask is at the back of the stack.
This is a serious newbie usability issue IMHO since a newbie could be
scratching their head thinking, "why can't I surf the web?"
Easy fix: make gnome-keyring-ask stay on-top so that other apps open
_behind_ it. This way it is immediately obvious that you need to enter
your network password to get online.
Extra credit: The text that gnome-keyring-ask pops up is frankly inane -
a newbie really doesn't care that "the application '/usr/bin/nm-applet'
wants to access blah, blah, blah". What they want to read is someting
more succinct and obvious, like:
To connect to the internet, please enter your network password.
Thanks for reading.
