Description Jalani Kanem 2005-09-07 06:11:07 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
If a nautilus bookmark is made for a remote location which requires a password,
upon subsequent logins the Gnome Main Menu (possibly Nautilus browser as well)
is not accessible until a password for the remote location is given. This is
before trying to actually go to the remote location. In short, the Gnome desktop
is not usable until each password for bookmarked remote locations is given.

Steps to reproduce:
1. make a nautilus bookmark to a remote location which requires password
2. log out of Gnome so that password is no longer in Nautilus's memory
3. Try to use the Gnome Main Menu


Actual results:
A pop-up dialog demands the password for the bookmarked remote location

Expected results:
Nothing. A demand for the password shouldn't happen until one actually tries to
access the remote location.

Does this happen every time?
Yes

It looks like 2.12.1 fixed part of the problem: Going to Gnome Main Menu no
longer results in a demand for password.

But going to Gnome-Panel properties does demand a password.

Steps to reproduce:
1. make a nautilus bookmark to a remote location which requires password
2. log out of Gnome so that password is no longer in Nautilus's memory
3. Try cutstomize Gnome-Panel by selecting Gnome-Panel properties

Expected results:
Nothing. A demand for the password shouldn't happen until one actually tries to
access the remote location.

Does this happen every time?
Yes

This is not just for nautilus.  The same problem occurs with gedit or
file-roller when the gtk open file dialog is brought up.  These applications are
requesting access to the key ring just to show the file selection dialog. 
Should this bug be reassigned to further down the stack?  The toolkit itself maybe?
