When gdm first comes up, 3 dialog prompts in a row for root password. If you press cancel on the first one then they go away. "Authentication required for color device" or some such.. reproduce: 1. Install 12.1 M3: Select xfce as desktop environment (i'm guessing GNOME would have the same issue also) 2. Initial boot. 3. gdm loads and then prompt is shown. -- 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.

That smells fishy.
Why? GDM is actually using a real GNOME session. And since color management is done in gnome-settings-daemon, GDM runs this code too. Which actually makes sense -- you want the wallpaper to show with proper colors, after all. -- 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.

That's polkit, see bug 698250 for the security review of colord. -- 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.

When it is turned on, *several* root password prompts appear: one for each monitor, one for each profile for each monitor, and then a few more related color-management ones too. -- 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.

This, and the fact that it isn't properly on by default on the desktop (even though it says it is), lead me to believe that this was most likely "fixed" in an incorrect manner. -- 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.
