I was wondering if there were any plans regarding the behaviour of programs that need root privileges ( RootSudo or how root privileges window is called in Ubuntu) like for e.g. synaptic package manager?
If you open such an application with drag and drop from activities menu it doesn't show anything on that workspace and if you go to that space, admin privileges window is there locking the entire workspace ( at least that's what happened in the last version that I was using - today I built a new version in which I can't drag-drop items returned by activities find function ). The part that there's no indication of this in activities mode is a bit annoying - the first time I encountered this I drag-dropped synaptic three times or so and after that activities find stopped working... It would be better if program opening indication would be visible in activities mode - for example a dummy loading icon on the workspace where application is being opened on the same location where window will be shown after the application is opened. This would be useful for all the applications. It would be even better that there would be an entire workspace lock indication for applications like root privileges window that lock a workspace. Or perhaps a way for gnome-shell to show this window above everything else even while in activities mode forcing you to take action before continuing. Would it even be possible in gnome-shell to distinguish such windows from all the other windows? Is this a gnome-shell or Ubuntu root privileges window handling problem? regards, Domen
