signon-ui dialog doesn't carry account information

[Kristian Benoit]

Every time I open a session I get a password box "Entrez vos identifiant" (Enter your identifications") asking for username and password with no other information.

Nothing gives a clue on the application asking for a login/password nor which login/password is requested.

I used xdotool to find the pid that opened the window and figured it's started by signon-ui.

This may be the keyring, though I'd like Alberto to confirm and see if
that dialog can be skipped or made clearer.

Hi Kristian, there's probably some online accounts which fails to authenticate. Indeed the fact that there's no information about which account needs authentication is a bug; I'm modifying this bug title to reflect that.

To find out which account it is, you can uncomment the "LoggingLevel=2" line in /etc/signond.conf, and on the next login, when the dialog appears again, you'll hopefully find some useful information in /var/log/syslog. Feel free to attach that file to this bug, but make sure to overwrite any sensitive information with "XXX" (there might be usernames and password in there).
