Binary package hint: software-center

Using r1347 of lp:~mvo/software-center/reviews branch.
If you click on the hyperlink to start a review when there is no internet connection the 'Signing In' spinner screen of the submit review window hangs, continuing to spin and not advising the user that it has not been able to sign in.

Furthermore, clicking on the cancel button doesn't work from this situation and the only way to exit is to close the window.

Attached file shows tracebacks for both issues.

Steps to re-produce (assume SSO has already been authenticated with a password prior)
1. Run Software Center (using run_against_rnr_Staging_env.sh)
2. Get Software > Accessories > 7-zip
3. Disconnect internet connection
4. Click hyperlink saying 'Be the first to review'
5. Submit review window appears saying 'Signing In' with a spinner. Exception traceback is written to terminal due to inability to connect to server.
6. Press Cancel. Nothing happens, exception traceback is written to terminal.
7. Press X button on submit review window to close.

Expectation:
1. Failure to sign in should alert user to problem in GUI.
2. Cancel button should destroy window.
