Preferences window won't just close

Bug Description

I have gmail-notify not storing my username and password, so every time I log into gnome, it opens up the preferences window. Sometimes, I'm in a hurry or don't have Internet and just want it to go away, but there's a while loop in the code that just won't let that happen. I'm attaching a patch to make it behave more sensibly. It'll open up the preferences window once. If the preferences window is then closed, and there's still not a username and password, it simply exits the program.

Here's the patch I was referring to. It should probably be sent upstream too.

Thank you for the patch. I've added the patch tag to bring this to the attention of the packagers. I have unsubscribed ubuntu-universe-sponsors as this does not prepresent a request for sponsorship of a new revision (is not a debdiff). If a debdiff is prepared addressing this issue, please resubscribe ubuntu-universe-sponsors to request upload.
