I’ve got this message when I try to launch applications like synaptic (which requires an authentication) and my pointer is on an another machine’s screen (sharing keyboard and mous via synergy).
Which app was this?
I get this sometimes when I’m launching an admin task like Synaptic but keep working in other apps (like web surfing) and don’t pause for the admin password dialog to come up.
That’s courtesy of gksudo. Yep, it seriously needs fixing 🙂
Seems there are three bugs about this issue – no one seems to be trying to fix it :/
