Shake password window immediately, not after a few seconds

[Stuart Langridge]

The password dialog to sign back in when the screen is locked shakes if an incorrect password is entered, and this is a good idea. However, I think it would be improved if it shook immediately when an incorrect password is entered. I understand that delaying for a few seconds is a good idea (it prevents password-guess bombardment) but currently if I enter my password and get it wrong, I see the password dialog freeze for a few seconds and *then* shake. So, after about 500ms, I *know* that it's going to shake, but it doesn't happen; I have to wait. I think the experience would be improved if the shake happened immediately, even if I am prevented from trying again for a few seconds.
