Very often, when an application needs root privileges, the windows that asks for root passwd opens in the background, under the other windows, remaining unseen. Such window should force foreground. Even if I know the trick, I often miss it because it not always obvious that root pass is mandatory. Example below Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.open the document print status windows (printer switched off, a document in the queue), for example from the printing cups kde application. 2.select the queue, clic remove, a windows show "do you really want to remove", clic yes and wait... 3.the root pass windo is open under the printing app (the two of them on the centrer of the screen) Actual Results: the user don't undrstand why the job is not cancelled. He understand later (may be) I really don't know how to debug this If I can help, ask! thanks jdd -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
