Description Sean Middleditch 2005-09-30 18:52:01 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
As bug #159663 still hasn't even had the patch commented on, I have resorted to
having my webdavs password remembered.  However, on a relatively frequent basis,
I suddenly get queried for my password for the server again.  Often when I'm not
even doing anything with Nautilus or any other gnome-vfs-using program.  (i.e.,
when I'm typing something in Abiword.)

The password, if its told to be remembered, should of course continue to be
remembered.

Steps to reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3.

Does this happen every time?

Comment 1 André Klapper 2008-09-06 19:07:54 UTC 
gnome-vfs has been deprecated and superseded by gio/gvfs since GNOME 2.22, hence mass-closing many of the gnome-vfs requests/bug reports. This means that gnome-vfs is NOT actively maintained anymore, however patches are still welcome.

If your reported issue is still valid for gio/gvfs, please feel free to file a bug report against glib/gio or gvfs.

@Bugzilla mail recipients: query for gnome-vfs-mass-close to get rid of these notification emails all together.
