[pkg-lxqt-devel] Bug#933940: lxqt-policykit: Messagebox for auth info is modal, which is user-unfriendly

[Jörg Kurlbaum]

Package: lxqt-policykit
Version: 0.14.1-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,
   * What led up to the situation?

Using lxqtpolicykit-agent with U2F (two-factor auth) a modal info box
is displayed. Without clicking the OK-button the authentication cannot
proceed.

This is annoying (at least in my case) when your U2F-Token needs
activation through a button. You have to click and press the button,
which is quite tedious.


Patch is available here:

https://github.com/jkur/lxqt-policykit/tree/nonmodal-infobox


   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Using U2F with this tool

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Pressing a lot of buttons.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Fast authentication ;-)
