Hang in change password dialog

[Steve Magoun]

The change password dialog can hang in certain situations.

To reproduce:
1) Launch system settings
2) Open the "User accounts" control panel
3) Click the password 'dots' to open the "Changing password" dialog
4) Enter the current password, and enter a password that the system thinks is weak, like 'ubuntu'
5) Press the 'change' button'. A dialog should appear that says, "The new password is too simple. Please choose another password.". Close the dialog.
6) In the change password dialog, re-enter the weak password from step 4
7) Press the change button

Expected results:
Either the system accepts the new password, or the "The new password is too simple" dialog from step 5 appears.

Actual results:
The "Changing password" dialog is greyed out and the cursor changes to the spinning "please wait" cursor. The password is not changed.

This is 100% reproducible for me. May be related to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701701

the bug is years old without activity nor new report and the code changed quite a lot since, closing, feel free to register new bugs if you have issues in newer versions though
