Bug Description
Firstly, thx for Feisty - it rocks. Here's how to trigger my minor gripe...
1. Configure a wireless network using the Feisty network manager applet
2. Start a few applications
3. Save the session
4. log out.
5. log in
6. /usr/lib/
7. Before you can put your password in, your other apps will then fire up (firefox, thunderbird, gaim, etc)
8. You'll now observe that gnome-keyring-ask is at the back of the stack.
This is a serious newbie usability issue IMHO since a newbie could be scratching their head thinking, "why can't I surf the web?"
Easy fix: make gnome-keyring-ask stay on-top so that other apps open _behind_ it. This way it is immediately obvious that you need to enter your network password to get online.
Extra credit: The text that gnome-keyring-ask pops up is frankly inane - a newbie really doesn't care that "the application '/usr/bin/
To connect to the internet, please enter your network password.
Thanks for reading.
