Binary package hint: software-center

Ubuntu Software Center 2.1.21, Ubuntu Maverick

For a non-purchase item:
0. Clear any authentication privileges, if necessary.
1. Navigate to the software item screen for a non-purchase item.
2. Choose "Install".
3. Authenticate.
What happens: 3. Once you authenticate, there is a wait of several seconds before the progress bar appears.

For a purchase item:
0. Clear any authentication privileges, if necessary.
1. Navigate to the software item screen for a purchase item.
2. Choose "Buy", and complete the payment.
3. Authenticate.
What happens: 2. A progress bar bounces in the background while the authentication dialog is up.

What should happen, in both cases:
2. The progress bar does not appear while the authentication dialog is up.
3. The progress bar appears, indeterminate, immediately once you have authenticated.

I'm sorry I didn't make this clear in the spec. I'll merge it in whenever this bug is fixed.
