Yes. Which is another way of saying that everyone that have krb5-auth-dialog installed and do not need it (it need Kerberos to be useful) will get a useless tray icon. I believe it is safer to assume that those installing krb5-auth-dialog actually need it, and thus want to get the tray icon showing Kerberos status also when no Kerberos was enabled when the user logged in. I believe it is better to optimize for those installing krb5-auth-dialog because they need it than to optimize for those that do not need it. Please enable the tray icon for all users it when Kerberos was not available during login. > I'd rather see applications use krb5-auth-dialog's DBus API to > acquire a ticket if needed, then we don't need to spawn the dialog > on login at all. Well, not sure if that really solve the same problem. The icon will not show up if the user log in without network and no Kerberos server available, and then try to authenticate when the laptop get onine.
