Description Christoph Wickert 2011-05-09 08:42:47 UTC
polkit-gnome needs support for accessibility, at least for the onscreen keyboard in order to add the password on tablet devices. This is similar to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=308533 and 
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347721

P.S.: I know 'daemon' is the wrong component, but there is no polkit-gnome component.

This is tracked on GNOME's bug tracker, please use

 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=policykit-gnome

Please note, however, that polkit-gnome is only used in GNOME's fallback - GNOME 3 features an authentication agent built into GNOME Shell itself. So the bug is not likely to get resolved. If the authentication in GNOME Shell suffers from the same problem, please file a bug against GNOME Shell. Thanks.

Thanks David, in fact I was talking about the authentication dialog of gnome-shell.
