Bug Description
Steps to reproduce (not 100% sure of this, but has happened multiple times):
1) Have two user accounts
2) Login to desktop
3) Put the laptop to sleep etc for many hours
4) Login as a different user
What happens:
A dialog asking credentials for updates is opened. After accepting or canceling the dialog a new one is immediately opened (or it already was behind the topmost dialog). Sometimes you need to click cancel 50 times before the dialogs stop appearing. This also pauses the desktop fade in animation and the animation proceeds gradually on each dialog.
This did not happen on 18.04 LTS.
I'll try to record a video of this, but it doesn't always happen or depends on how long there has been between the user switch.

I now captured a video after the PC had been untouched for the night. In the video I have switched the user and I needed to click Cancel around 10 times to get rid of the credential dialogs.
Also for some reason it didn't accept the password. I tried two times with the recording cell phone on my other hand so it's possible I typed it incorrectly.
