I would expect the following program to cause gnome-shell to prompt for
a password:
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#include <assert.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(void)
{
GMountOperation *mount_op;
GAskPasswordFlags flags;
char *message;
mount_op = gtk_mount_operation_new(NULL);
flags = G_ASK_PASSWORD_NEED_PASSWORD | G_ASK_PASSWORD_SAVING_SUPPORTED;
message = g_strdup("Enter password");
g_signal_emit_by_name(mount_op, "ask-password", message, "test",
"test", flags);
g_free(message);
}
It does not. (In the full code I register a callback to capture the
password.)
There is a conditional in GTK/gtkmountoperation.c's handler of
"ask-password" that chooses between a direct GTK dialog box and a proxy
that passes the request along using dbus. If I wrap this code in the
necessary GTK boilerplate and adjust the flags to force GTK, then I get
a password prompt. But I do not get a password prompt if execution
follows the proxy path.
I am using gnome-shell-3.34.2 that happens to be running on Fedora 31.
My GNOME shell seems to provide the org.freedesktop.DBus.ListNames
service:
$ dbus-send --session --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus --type=method_call
--print-reply /org/freedesktop/DBus org.freedesktop.DBus.ListNames | grep Mount
[...]
string "org.gtk.MountOperationHandler"
Does anyone know what might be wrong?
The reason for my question is that I am trying to fix a bug in
Rhythmbox's DAAP plugin.
