Description Sebastian Breier 2005-11-11 17:03:45 UTC 
Version details: 2.12.1-0ubuntu1
Distribution/Version: Ubuntu Breezy (5.10)

I have no idea what category this bug really belongs to. I put it here because
some parts of it concern nautilus.

I have several SFTP/SMB locations in my nautilus file manager bookmarks. When I
click on them, I get asked for a password, and can use the remote directory.

The problem is that the nautilus bookmarks also get used in the GTK "file open"
dialog.

What happens is this: I open some GTK application (gedit as an example). I click
the "open" button. Then I get one popup window for each remote directory in my
bookmarks, asking for a password to access the remote machine. This becomes
almost unbearable when you just want to open an audio CD and need to put in 5
different SSH passwords.

This might be wanted functionality, but I have not found anybody else having
this problem (except another friend who also uses the bookmarks). It might also
be a bug.

moving to libgnomeui since that's an issue with the vfs version of the filechooser

Updated Version from 2.12.x to 2.14.x because it still persists.

(Ubuntu Dapper Flight-6, Gnome 2.14.0, libgnomeui 2.14.0-0ubuntu1)

Bug 32873 seems to be a similar issue.
Comment 5 Sebastian Breier 2006-04-02 09:02:03 UTC 
Sorry, Bug 332641 (32873 is the Ubuntu Malone bug ID).
Comment 6 Christian Neumair 2006-04-02 13:16:29 UTC 
To resolve this, I think we have to introduce some sort of flag that tells us whether the current VFS request is "optional" in the sense that if it can't be performed it won't hurt, so that it can be skipped if it requires authentication.
