policykit-gnome authentication dialog focus issue in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
Issue
- Policykit gnome authentication dialog does not always get focus on RHEL6
- Problem is seen when the application launching the dialog has recently got focus or title bar of the application is clicked.
- Problem is observed only during first launch of dialog box after getting the focus for application in question.
- Any new dialog box launched after first unsuccessful attempt will get focus.
- This correct behaviour continues until the application in question looses focus again or title bar of the application is clicked.
- The behaviour is easily reproducible using
system-config-servicesandgpk-update-viewer - Problem is seen while using metacity as well as kwin.
- No problem observed using motif window manager (mwm).
