GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 687848
Shared widget for login and unlock dialogs
Last modified: 2013-07-28 17:37:02 UTC
I fixed bug 687113 for the unlock dialog, but not for the login dialog, I saw that: - the entry only gets the disabled look, it's still sensitive - which triggers the next bug: it's never made enabled/sensitive again I tried to fixed the second issue, but I saw there were lots of differences in the implementation, "validation-failed", "validation-completed" unused, etc. From bug 687112, I get: Jasper: "Given that the login dialog and unlock dialog use the same UI, it probably makes sense to make it into a shared widget that does some part of the PAM step, and has a signal for handoff (raise modal, defer to gdm)" Giovanni: "I might disagree with that. Yes, they look similar, but they are really very different in the implementation and actor hierarchy, so to unify them I'm afraid you'll get a generic monster with no actual benefit to the two codebases." This is a new bug to track if we do that or not, because this "blocks" bug 687113 (not really, but you get the feeling).
These days they share a lot of their guts with ShellUserVerifier and AuthPrompt
