After spending a few hours with the gksu source code, it seems pretty
obvious to me that the problem is that the pop-up is not considered as a
new window, but as a tooltip.
>From libgksu's source code:
if (context->grab)
dialog = g_object_new (GKSUUI_TYPE_DIALOG,
"type", GTK_WINDOW_POPUP,
"sudo-mode", context->sudo_mode,
NULL);
>From GTK's documentation
>(http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/gtk-Standard-Enumerations.html#GtkWindowType):
Windows with type GTK_WINDOW_POPUP are ignored by the window manager... many
GTK+ features that rely on the window manager will not work... GTK_WINDOW_POPUP
is used to implement widgets such as GtkMenu or tooltips that you normally
don't think of as windows per se.
So this bug seems to be caused by the dialog's lack of window management
features.
