[Bug 44799] gtk open file dialogue constantly prompts for password

[Brad Whittington]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

Using ubuntu dapper > flight7

I have a few links to remote servers on my desktop, samba, ssh, etc.

When I choose open/insert/save file in a gtk program I am prompted to
enter a password for a random connection. This is especially annoying
when:

* Taking a screenshot requires entering a password for a remote machine I don't want or need to access.
* Crashing Open office when trying to insert a file, because it doesnt like waiting for a password prompt for some reason.

It seems like it is prompting me for passwords for connections which do
not have their passwords saved in the keyring manager. Previously it did
prompt for a keyring password. If ensure there is an active connection
to the remote machine before I open/save/etc. by opening the link and
entering my password, then I do not encounter any issues.

It seems like nautilus, or gtk is trying to open the links when building
the dialogue. It should not prompt me for a password unless i try to
access the links.

** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed
