Public bug reported:
Currently, when performing a reauthentication request the dialog stays
open only for the time needed to capture the user input; once the user
has confirm the data, the dialog is immediately closed, and the data is
being sent back to the authentication plugin.
However, it may happen that the authentication plugin is able to verify
whether the data is correct or not (actually, in most cases it is
--UbuntuOne, ownCLoud, OAuth...), and in case it's not correct it
typically asks for another signon UI dialog to be opened, to request the
new data.
To avoid re-popping up dialogs every time, it might be a better user
experience if we keep the dialog open, with the fields disabled and a
spinner running, until the authentication plugin has completed the
operation.
This could be implemented with no changes to authentication plugins:
instead, we would just modify signond to always call the cancel method
on signon UI once it gets the result from the authentication plugin.
