Description Cosimo Cecchi 2012-03-20 23:33:19 UTC 
- Add e.g. a Google Account from the Online Accounts panel
- A web view will show up, asking to enter your username/password
- Press Enter -> nothing apparently happens, until the next page loads

This is noticeable, especially with a slowish connection. I think as soon as the credentials are confirmed we should show a spinner indicator somewhere in that dialog until the next "Grant/Deny" page is loaded.

Yes, and it can take some time to show you the initial "enter your credentials" page.

There are still some blocking calls which should give some progress feedback to the user, and the embedded web widget needs some more polish. But it is a start.

I am pushing these to master.

Lets close this now. What we have today is much better than the status quo when the bug was filed.
