            Bug ID: 312338
           Summary: USABILITY: Text field not focused in credentials
                    dialogs
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: telepathy
           Version: 0.5.1
          Hardware: Compiled Sources
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: auth-handler
          Assignee: kde-telepathy-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: sombragris at sombragris.org

FIRST and foremost: I'm using kde-telepathy 0.5.2 - There's no such option in
the version selector so I'm choosing 0.5.1 instead. Please keep that in mind.

I do not like Kwallet and so I have it disabled. This means that I have to
provide credentials for KTP in every login.

The dialog boxes provided for requesting user credentials are OK. However, they
are not focused on the text input field and thus one has to specifically click
on the text field in order to type a password.

Compare this for, e.g., the akondi/kmail auth dialogs, where the boxes are
specifically focused on the relevant text input field.

Now, a corollary of this is that if the dialog box is to be focused on text
input, this dialog should also appear in the background, i.e., it should not
steal focus from whatever the user is doing.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Disable Kwallet
2. Attempt to login at a chat server.
3. Begin to type. You realize that the text field is not focused, and you have
to click on it in order to type the password.
Actual Results:  
The text input box is not focused, so if I type the input does not go to the
input box.

Expected Results:  
The dialog should be focused on the text input box.

Thanks for the outstanding KTP product.
