SIM pin notification breaks notification positioning

[Michael Zanetti]

Using a PIN protected SIM card that produces the SIM PIN notification breaks positioning of notifications. Once the SIM PIN notification has been shown, subsequent notifications hide the panel like this:

I was able to reproduce this issue and am looking into it now.

confirmed this on rtm
interesting also, on fresh install and boot, just before being prompted for sim pin the first time i see a flash of sim pin prompt in the style of dark notification box, which is quickly redrawn to be the full screen pin entry.

The proposed fix in the MP works. Now I need to see with mzanetti (or any other reviewer), if we're all happy with the proposed solution.

The "visual glitch", when the SIM pin-entry fullscreen notification, opens, is due to the way the custom UI is injected into the notification. The interpretation of the hint-injected UnityMenuModel - transporting the SIM pin-entry UI - kicks in only after the notification as such is started being processed. How to avoid that delay, I don't know yet. I'm not even sure if that's technically possible at all.

The clean separation of notifications and dialogs will bring and end to such issues though.
