Binary package hint: policykit
Hello,
I hope that I have filed the bug against the correct package; or should I have filed it against policykit-gnome or even against the AT capplet?
Here is the issue:
It is not possible to enter any password with an onscreen keyboard into the dialog that appears when I click on an Unlock button like the one on the Network capplet. I suppose that the dialog is created by policykit and that all clicks outside of it (for example on an onscreen keyboard) are ignored because the window of the dialog is a modal window.
The Assistive Technology capplet in Ubuntu 8.04 (and previous) offers the "Password dialog as normal windows" option. But it only works for the gksu dialog, and not for the dialog from policykit.
This is a major problem for any user that has to rely on an onscreen keyboard to do its typing (tabletpc user, mobility impaired user,...), as he will not be able to do any administrative task.
How to reproduce the problem:
1. Open the onscreen keyboard named onboard shipped with Ubuntu. You will use it for the typing instead of your hardware keyboard.
2. Open the Synaptic Package Manager by using the System menu. Try to enter your admin password: it does not work.
3. Open the Assistive Technology capplet and activate the "Password dialog as normal windows" option. (A restart might be necessary.) If you repeat step 1. and 2., you will see that you will be able to enter the password with onboard into the gksu dialog.
4. Now open the Network capplet and click on the Unlock button. Another kind of password dialog will appear and you will not be able to enter the password with onboard into it, even though the "Password dialog as normal windows" option is enabled. |

policykit-gnome: statusexplanation |
I have been told on in the bugthread that I filed against policykit on freedesktop.org that the bug should be filed against policykit-kit in GNOME. So I am changing the affected package indication at the top of the thread from policykit to policykit-gnome. |
