Package: evolution
Version: 2.12.3-1
Severity: normal
When I run evolution under KDE and the gnome-keyring password box pops up,
1. There is no icon for the pop-up window appearing in the KDE task
bar (kicker);
2. I can cover the window with another one;
3. If I then minimize the window that was covering the prompt, the
prompt isn't there. Clicking on the evolution window indicator on the
task bar does not bring the pop-up up.
Minimizing evolution reveals the popup window again. Using KDE's
"reveal desktop" feature (minimizing all windows) also reveals the
popup window.
While behaviors under points 1 and 2 may be intended (at least in
retrospect!), 3 is problematic. I keep having to hunt for the pop-up
window; before I got used to it I thought the window had disappeared.
I would expect the following behaviors:
1. A separate icon appears for the popup in the window list on the
taskbar. Failing that, I would expect clicking on the evolution icon
would bring up the popup. The icon might flash for attention.
2. The window always stays in the foreground (I have mixed feelings
about this, but prompts frequently act this way.)
3. Covering and uncovering the spot with the popup (assuming it is
possible to cover it--see previous point) would reveal the popup.
I would consider 3 alone a solution to this problem.
I believe sometimes the popup has been hidden when it first
"appeared."
I suspect the problem is that GTK and KDE are not playing nicely
together, or perhaps it is strictly a gnome-keyring issue. I don't
know the ultimate cause; please reassign if appropriate.
