[Bug 2026307] [NEW] ssh-askpass-gnome pops up for every sudo command

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

When running multiple commands like this:
 
SUDO_ASKPASS=/usr/lib/openssh/gnome-ssh-askpass sudo -A cp ./ez_bkup /usr/local/bin/ 

from my gtk4 app, the ssh-askpass-gnome dialog and the gnome
inhibitShortcutsDialog pops up. i click allow on the
inhibitShortcutsDialog, then enter my password, which is accepted, then
they both pop up again for each of these sudo commands my app calls.

This happens in ubuntu 22.04-23.04 (completely updated) using gnome. If
i use xfce in the same ubuntu versions, the gnome dialog doesn't pop up,
of course, and ssh-askpass-gnome works properly (one entry and then all
commands executed without further prompting). Fedora 37 works properly
with gnome x11 or wayland, and xfce. Not sure if this is a bug in
ubuntu's ssh-askpass-gnome, gnome-shell, or both/something else.

ubuntu 23.04 is using GNOME Shell 44.2 and ssh-askpass-gnome
1:9.0p1-1ubuntu8.2

fedora is using openssh-askpass-8.8p1-10.fc37 and GNOME Shell 43.6

thanks
