GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 331656
Notification icon when credentials are needed and dialog has been cancelled?
Last modified: 2008-06-09 20:04:56 UTC
Might be nice to have a notification area icon to remind the user their credentials are expiring/expired if they cancelled the dialog.
gktools (which can also be used as a partial replacement for krb5 in gnome-kerberos) already does this. Unfortunately it requires a few clicks too many (in the new ticket dialog, it focuses the username, rather than the password field; to get the ticket you need to click on the 'Get ticket' button and can't use Enter; then it shows up a dialog with the message 'Credential successfully acquired' which needs to be dismissed by the user).
