Description Jorn Baayen 2005-01-13 18:13:42 UTC 
Use "connect to server" to create a new server icon (I test with webdav). Drag a
file to it. When it asks for a password, wait. The copy/move progress window
will appear on top of the password dialog. This tends to disturb people who are
just trying to remember their password.

The second problem is that when pressing cancel in the password dialog, it will
just pop up a new password dialog.
Comment 1 Christian Neumair 2005-07-12 20:04:16 UTC 
The latter is an gnome-vfs issue (cf. bug 139832), while the former is very
likely libgnomeui-related with metacity bugginess involved. Reassigning.

Proposed patch against HEAD

Keeps password dialog above. Should work if metacity worked correctly. cf. bug
310170.
