Description Elad Alfassa 2012-10-06 23:56:37 UTC 
When I start my session (and sometimes when I click on my shell calendar) I get a black shell-style authentication request saying it's for my google account. This request blocks the screen and whatever I type in it (be it my password, my gmail password or a google app-specific password), the authentication will fail.

It shouldn't even try to ask me for authentication, because this should be handled by GOA.

GOA's Google provider only supports OAuth, but Google still only supports Basic authentication on it CalDAV interface.  At least last I checked.

These days Google supports OAuth2 over CalDAV, which I believe EDS is already using. Other than that this is a duplicate of bug 728496
