Title:
Notice of expiring password in greeter not really visible

Bug description:
[Impact]
Messages that are shown after authentication is complete are not seen as the
greeter immediately closes and the session starts. Examples of messages are
warnings that the user password will expire soon.
[Test Case]
1. Make new user
2. Make user account set to expiring with chage tool. (pick yesterday for the
date here)
$ sudo chage -d 2014/04/29 -M 2 <username>
3. Log into this user from the greeter
Expected result:
User is informed that their password is about to expire.
Observed result:
Message displayed briefly before greeter closes and session starts. (On fast
systems may not be visible at all)
[Regression Potential]
Since this is a behaviour change in how the UI presents authentication
prompts there is a risk that other authentication cases might be adversely
affected. Tested manually using the unity-greeter test mode which simulates
many of these cases.
