Konsole now prompts for passwords and other questions in pop-ups??
I mean, who thought of this as a good idea? I find it rather distracting. I'm trying to SSH into a computer and blam...a massive pop-up blocks me from reading what was before or anything else...just the pop-up in front, blocking text. It has the hidden password text field thing, but this one is to type yes/no to whether accept the server's cert. Y hit enter after typing yes...and blam, another pop-up, this one is for the actual password.
How can I disable these pop-up prompts? I want to be prompted as text, on the konsole main screen, as it always was. I haven't changed anything, because well, this is a brand new install. It started happening on a different computer and found it equally irritating.
Any idea how can I disable this? Thanks so much!

check you SSH_ASKPASS and SSH_ASKPASS_REQUIRE variables
It could be that a recent software update to Konsole or the environment variables which configure it, has it now using the ssh-askpass utility to prompt you for passwords. You can configure it to always prompt over the TTY of the parent process that executed the ssh-askpass command.

Thanks. This is the first time I hear about this program, but it looks like it's indeed the one taking over the pw credentials. I tried unsetting the variables, and hopefully it will stop bugging after a reboot.
