[Bug 1831332] [NEW] Huge stack of credential dialogs when switching user

[Jussi Lind]

Public bug reported:

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.
