Title:
  Gmail password dialog box does not work and also can render the
  desktop useless after login

Status in “gcr” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After each login a dialog box appears to enter the password of my
  gmail mailbox. However even if I type the correct password, the dialog
  box reappears. It seems it's totally unimportant if I type the correct
  or some incorrect password. The only thing which helps is to cancel
  the dialog box two times. The more important problem however: the
  dialog box does not appear immediately after the login, sometimes
  dozens of seconds pass. If I open some application, terminal, etc, it
  can cause problems especially if the app is in fullscreen mode: then
  the dialog box made the desktop unusable, I can't change between
  windows, I can't type, etc (I have to switch to text console, and
  stop/start lightdm to cure the problem ... the other workaround is to
  wait after the login the dialog box to appear cancel it two times and
  then I can work, but that's a bit hmmm odd). I know the problem is
  with the dialog box, as I can see "through" the terminal window, since
  it's set to be somewhat transparent.

  It's in this way since upgraded to 13.10 (and now in 14.04 too), one
  of the main motivation to upgrade to 14.04 was to avoid this very
  annoying feature. However it seems it's still a problem.

  Unfortunately I have no idea which app/setting/etc made the system to
  ask this password and why the correct password is not accepted :( Only
  today I got some hint by swithing into text console and digging in the
  process list. It seems there is a process which onky can be found
  during this problem: /usr/lib/gcr/gcr-prompter

  That's why I send this report against the gcr package as it seems to
  own that file.
