No focus in gksudo when a menu is open

[frooze]

Hi,

I'm in ubuntu breezy.

If I open synaptic, for exemple and if I open a menu (from gnome, firefox, ...)
after then new gray screen, there are not focus in dialoge box and it's
impossible to put password.

The interface is blocked and I should kill the process or put the sentence Esc +
Enter.

Sorry for my very bas english

I was about to report the same one.
these focus stealing bugs with menu are quite annoying, and gksudo locking the
screen (which is VERY nice) might sometimes be very bad :/
is it any way to detect it and to close the menu before locking ?
hoary seems unaffected by this problem :)

Thanks for your bugreport.

I can reproduce the problem here. I have tried various ways to make sure that
the entries still gets the focus even with a open menu:
          gtk_window_present(GTK_WINDOW(dialog));
          gdk_x11_window_set_user_time (dialog->window,
                                        gtk_get_current_event_time());
          gdk_window_focus(dialog->window,gtk_get_current_event_time());
          gtk_widget_grab_focus(((GksuuiDialog*)(dialog))->entry);

without success so far.

It also does not depend on the window manager (xfwm4, blackbox, kwin and
metacity show the same behaviour).
