Public bug reported: Using Grsync to perform a remote to local backup does not work, as the password dialog is never shown; this happened in earlier releases with a basic X11 dialog, I guess using ssh-askpass. This may be linked to the switch to Wayland, which does not use Xresources/xinitrc anymore.
The very same rsync command works fine from Terminal.
