Description Guido 2014-12-26 10:25:04 UTC 
Issue Short: 
 - Enter password dialog does not allow to switch to another window.
 - Passwort cannot be copied from Keepassx 

Solution:
 - Allow to switch windows even when enter password dialog is present

Details:
The dialog for entering passwords (after adding a new IMAP account to icedove for instance) forces the user to enter the password manually instead of enabling her to copy the password from a password manager for example. 

This is annoying.
With this Gnome does it's bit to force users to choose simple passwords and to use the same password for several services.
