On my new Kubuntu 11.10 system, there are two users with administrative rights (paulo
and administranto
). Whenever I now from a KDE GUI dialog do some action which needs administrative rights, I get a dialog like the one showing below, asking me to select a user and type the password. I can't start typing the password before I select the user name, and I need to use the mouse (or some combination of arrow-down, back-tab, arrow-down) to select the right user from the list.
I'm just now logged in as paulo
- how can I configure it to preselect the current user and focus the password box right away?
(Yes, this screen shot has a strange mix of Esperanto and German. Looks like the Esperanto translation is not yet complete.)
A workaround would be to remove the administrator rights from the second user, but this is not what I want, really.
(This still happens on 12.04, but I just filed a bug report/feature request.)
