Are you going to fix this for Karmic?

This bug is not so bad for users that have the time and skills to find
and apply the workaround, but for the vast majority of users it's a
horrible security risk. I have a friend who accidentally typed his
password in a high-traffic chat room because the keyrind dialog didn't
steal focus, and he was completely unable to change his password by
himself. Frequently changing one's password is recommended by about
everybody who cares about security, so this can't be taken lightly.

Nominated for Karmic to bring it to attention; I think this should
receive the "security risk" label and be fixed asap.
