GMPC keeps on prompting for a server password even though it is saved

[Bram Avontuur]

Binary package hint: gmpc

I've setup a connection to mpd running on my home server. In the preferences, I can clearly see it has set a password. However, when I start up gmpc, it will prompt for the password. In this dialog, it has a checkbox to tell it to save the password. If I reenter it here and tick the box, it will still occasionally pop up the dialog. I can cancel it though, and the application will keep on working.

It is really easy to reproduce:

 * Save connection settings with the password set
 * Music -> Disconnect.
 * Music -> Connect. The dialog will popup now (see attached screenshot)
 * Click the Cancel button on the dialog
 * gmpc has connected to the mpd server anyway and works as expected.

There's a related problem (I don't know how it is related, though): if you set mpd to work with a password from gmpc, the tag browsing (artist/genre browser) functionality stops working (empty lists). If you set the server to work without authentication, the tag browser lists everything again. You can't have both.

I got the clue to this two problems being connected from this thread:

Please file the bug report in the right location. The gmpc developer (me) does and cannot read the bugtracker of every single distribution available. that is just crazy.

So if there is a problem with the program itself, not the package. Use the _right_ bugtracker.
