eds bit required for password popup (2.08 KB, patch)

Description Taru Jain 2005-06-21 12:06:06 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Even after I have set the value of the 
key /apps/evolution/lock/mail/accounts/save_password as true, I am able to 
check/uncheck the 'Remember Password' checkbox in the Evolution Mail Account 
settings.

As I understand, the 'Remember Password' checkbox should appear disabled in 
the UI when this key is set to a true value.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Set the value of the key /apps/evolution/lock/mail/accounts/save_password 
to true. 
2. Open Evolution Mail Client Settings.
3. Edit an existing mail account. 


Actual results:
In the 'Recieving Mail' and 'Sending Mail' tabs, you would see that 
the 'Remember Password' checkbox is enabled.

Expected results:
The 'Remember Password' checkbox should be disabled.

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
The 'Remember Password' checkbox is enabled in the username/password window 
also.

Taru: Seems to be lockdown bug ?
Comment 2 Taru Jain 2005-06-21 12:23:26 UTC 
Yes. We use this key to lockdown the Save Password setting.

I discussed this issue with Michael Zucchi yesterday and he told me that it is 
a bug.

Thanks
Taru
