Trying to reconnect when auth failed

[patrys]

One of my accounts fails auth when attempting to connect. Gajim tries to reconnect every few seconds which is kind of annoying (each time showing a modal dialog that auth failed).

Actually I propose moving auth failed into a critical-type notification. As well as auth given and auth revoked as these are useless as alerts. Auth revoked should be sticky and not time out as the user might want to take some action like ask for auth again or remove the contact.

a sticky popup or a non-model warning window is the same, isn't it ? so why a popup ?

[patrys]

Because non-modal windows get lost under Firefox/Epiphany/Evolution/you-name-it ;)

set_transient_for(parent) makes it show over the parent, even if it's not modal

The problem is when these appear I am usually in the middle of doing some work on another desktop (covered by a fullscreen window). Showing a transient window on the Gajim's desktop will not get any of my attention ;)

now on auth failure, we don't reconnect.
