Description Bastien Nocera 2005-07-09 16:23:45 UTC 
- Launch gedit
- Open the "Open..." file dialog
- Go to a location that requires authentication (for example sftp://localhost/)
- Type in the password, and add that location to the bookmark
- Close gedit

- Launch sound-juicer
- See an auth window popping up (Cancel, cancel, cancel
- Open the preferences
- See an auth window popping up

Expected would be to have no auth window showing because sound-juicer isn't
setup to write to a location that requires auth.

Any idea what causes this?  SJ doesn't touch gnome-vfs directly at all, the
closest is the gnomevfssink.
Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2005-07-09 17:01:23 UTC 
It is the GtkFileChooserButton's fault (try opening the main glade file).
Sound-juicer could work around this by creating the prefs window on demand.

Alternatively, we should get the GtkFileChooserButton to only ask for auth when
the location that requires auth is selected, not before.
