Subject: Getting rid of the GUI pop-ups
With Emacs 25.1.1, password prompts are no longer in the menu bar but via my
(KDE/Plasma) window manager. Not only is this annoying, it is costly -- it
takes 30 seconds to a full minute for the popup to appear, meanwhile Emacs is
frozen. I would love for this to just be the menu prompt, as it used to be.
I've tried
`(setq menu-prompting nil)`
but it doesn't seem to have any effect. I see these prompts most often when
opening .gpg files and when trying to perform a git push. I'm hoping someone
will tell me there is a better way to disable these than just rebuilding
emacs from source with X menus disabled (particularly as I have been pleased
to get my emacs from the repo without needing to build from source).
Good news would be much appreciated!
