            Bug ID: 96547
           Summary: VMWare 12 root password dialog doesn't work under
                    Wayland 1.11
           Product: Wayland
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: XWayland
          Assignee: wayland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

AFter a kernel upgrade, when running vmware, it asks for re compiling its
kernel modules. To do so, a popup dialog appears asking for su password
(similar to gksu, even if gksu itself actually works fine). That dialog under
Wayland (Gnome - wayland session) does not work: 

1) The text field won't gain focus and you cannot type your password in. All
you can do is click on the cancel button to dismiss it. SO you have to start a
gnome on X11 session or recompile the kernel modules by command line.

2) Also the entire desktop become black (in X11 the background gets 50% darker,
I guess it's an issue with alpha channel). This is a minor thing.
