network manager key-entry dialog appears below all windows (minimised)

[zdzichu]

When Network Manager need a key to connect to wireless networks, it displays dialog asking for it.
From unknown reason this dialog is displayed below all other windows.
I think that this dialog should be displayed on foreground (above all other windows) AND should NOT get focus by default.

the application is probably not using the right timestamp, reassigning

I experience this too, in both edgy and upgraded feisty and a clean install of feisty. When the window appears below the other windows it is not immediately apparent that the network key is required and users may think nm is attempting to connect to a network unsuccessfully.

confirming this. the strange thing is that the window flashes in the taskbar, but is not in foreground!

Confirmed in Gutsy Tribe 5.

In Gutsy, it can be quite difficult to get the window to stop being minimised.

When I start up, I have nothing else open and the prompt appears and
then minimises. Is this the same bug?

Clicking on it does not bring it back up and I often have to
right-click and deselect "always on top" before I can get it to
display.

does this still happen to you in intrepid? If so, the fix should be quite simple. so please let me know.

Honestly I can't remember the last time a saw this happen. I'm not running
Intrepid, but I haven't seen it happen in Hardy.
