So bug 1507540 is basically the Ubuntu Touch equivalent of this bug? At
least, it's unlikely that the design for that particular case will be
different from the general design for (re)authorization.
Anyway, for the reasons I gave, I think it would be risky (and even
aggravating) to present this in any way that doesn't have a button for
fixing the problem directly. You make a good point that it's often going
to be an app/service that isn't the focused app. But we have a long-
standing mechanism for dealing with dialogs that don't belong to the
focused app: focus-stealing prevention.
So my proposal is:
1. A dialog comes up saying “XYZ needs reauthorizing to access your {whatever}
account”. Compiz decides whether it gets focus or not. If not, it sits in the
launcher+switcher waiting for you.
2. If you choose "Continue…", that dialog closes and a new dialog appears
containing the Web frame and a "Cancel" button.
Is that amount of change acceptable for Unity 7?
