screen to be "grabbed" while you enter the password [SOLVED]
Would you like your screen to be "grabbed"
while you enter the password?
This means all applications will be paused to avoid
the eavesdropping of your password by a a malicious
application while you type it.
I have seen this since yesterdray when I start something on desktop with gksudo, which is a good measure of safety but adds one more step at the tedious task of entering a password every time. Weird thing is that when you respond with a yes the application will not start. With a no it starts fine.
Where diid this come from? From an update of the kernel or is it something I did without consciously wanting to do it. For sure I have never seen it before in any distribution. And from wherever it comes from, which I can't locate, why is it NOT working?
So, how do I turn it off as it is a useless measure of safety?
