Bug Description
When an application needs Launchpad access, and it hasn't any credential stored, it tries to open a browser displaying a message to the users similar to the one below:
The authorization page:
(https:/
should be opening in your browser. After you have authorized
this program to access Launchpad on your behalf you should come
back here and press <Enter> to finish the authentication process.
If users have console-based browsers, focus on message is lost when it comes up, and they can wonder why that happened. Asking for confirmation before opening any browser could be an easy workaround for this.

Just to be clear, you're saying the problem here is that the terminal
window containing the browser may not automatically get focus in the
window manager?
