Re: Seahorse locks my desktop

[Stef Walter <stefw gnome org>]

What version of seahorse are you running? You can look at this in the 
"Help | About" dialog.

In recent versions, gnome-keyring actually does the prompting. But 
that's okay, I'm involved in both.

I'm confused though, because the password dialog should be set to remain 
'always on top' by default. Are you using GNOME?

Cheers,

Stef
