Description Mikkel Kamstrup Erlandsen 2008-09-01 20:37:38 UTC
The Identi.ca micro blogging module of deskbar does not support OpenId (regretfully...).

This is a cause of confussion since it pops up a dialog asking for credentials. Users with OpenId-only accounts on Identi.ca are getting confused (by reports - just ask sebp ;-)).

Proposed patch: Add a message to the account dialog

The attached patch adds a notification, and possibility to visit the identi.ca website to configure username/password.

Screenshot of new UI

Attached is a screenshot of the new UI. The old UI is just a simple username/password dialog without the note about OpenId, and without the gtk.LinkButton to the identi.ca website.
