@popey For what it is worth, it is supposed to remember your decision if it can associate the application with a .desktop file. In that case, you can change the decision in the apps section of gnome-control-center.

So I see the dialogue once for GNOME Boxes, but I see it every time when using command line tools like virt-install.

@jamesh Step two: Nothing, there is no second thing.

@popey This is the gnome-shell code deciding whether to save your decision: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/blob/main/js/ui/inhibitShortcutsDialog.js#L42-64

There's a number of ways it associates windows with apps, so not sure what would be the best thing for spice-gtk to do here.

@jamesh Thanks. Is there a 'quick fix' I can do on my machine? I guess create a desktop file might be one way to start. Obviously I'd like this fixed for everyone, but I'm user 0 :D

@jamesh Ah, interesting. I'm launching something from the command line, not via a desktop launcher. It doesn't ship a desktop file.

Also, the fact it has "Allow inhibiting" as the first two bold words I see, is cognitively overloading.

Also, the text doesn't even make sense to me. It's the worst kind of dialog, because I don't know what it's actually asking me for permission to do.

I am beginning to really hate this dialog. I have no idea where it comes from, or where to file a bug.

@popey It's started popping up when I'm prompted to enter my SSH passphrase. How do we get rid of it?

@monospace It pops up when I am using a VM to test something which should be automated. This makes it non-automated. Which is broken. It should have a 'remember this answer' on it.
