Cervisia: no password dialog [sort of solved]

Hello,

I've been trying to set up cervisia to connect to my workplace's cvs server, but I have problems to login. When I add the repository (pserver), then click the login button, nothing happens. According to the help a box should pop up and ask me for the password, but cervisia just doesn't react. It doesn't crash, I don't get any error message (not even if I start it from a shell), just nothing moves. I know the server works because I can login using cvs from the command line. Is that a bug or did I do something wrong?

Edit: I just tried with the kde cvs server and I get the same "result".

Thanks in advance,
Franck.

if you have the split kde, you may lack some package. Or configuration? That's all I can think of. :oops:

That's what I thought too. Apparently the dialog box is a separate program called cvsaskpass, and I can run it myself from the command line and it works (it just opens the dialog window which asks for the password, and closes when I type one in and press enter). So if I forgot something, I have no idea what.

I solved it by using the monolithic kde rather than split ebuilds.

I'm using the monolithic (what?) ebuilds and still have this problem. I can close and reopen Cervisia to get it working, but once done nothing else works?
Trying LinCVS.

I tried LinCVS too. I was very frustrated by the interface, in both cases. So I'm back to the command line and I'm enjoying it
