Comment 13 for bug 200036

On a fresh install of Hardy Beta I set the time, added two locations and then clicked 'set' to change the time to that location's timezone. What followed was interesting.

I had another program open, a settings window from something in the System menu, and when the password dialog popped under the other program and I only noticed because the program was in the 'task-bar.' I could not click the 'task-bar' to bring the password window forward, nor could move the window on top out of the way.

I pressed enter on my keyboard so that the password dialog would see me as typing in nothing for my password and go away. I then moved the window that was in the way off to the side of the screen so that when it prompted me again, I could see the password prompt.

Here is the interesting part; while I was dragging the window out of the way, the password prompt popped up again and tried to steal focus and then lock itself in focus, but what happened was that the window I was dragging got locked into focus.

So my line of thought is that this has nothing to do with the clock applet, but rather the gnome stuff, that I know almost nothing about, that deals with that authentication window.
