Bug Description
Binary package hint: software-center
Ubuntu Software Center 3.1.9, Ubuntu Natty
For a non-purchase item:
0. Clear any authentication privileges, if necessary.
1. Navigate to the software item screen for a non-purchase item.
2. Choose "Install".
3. Authenticate.
What happens: 3. Once you authenticate, there is a wait of several seconds before the progress bar appears.
What should happen:
2. The progress bar does not appear while the authentication dialog is up.
3. The progress bar appears immediately once you have authenticated.
I'm sorry I didn't make this clear in the spec. I'll merge it in whenever this bug is fixed.

This has come up as a noticable problem during user testing of USC 3.0, on a Dell Inspiron Mini 10. Once participants clicked "Authenticate", the word "Installing" appeared immediately, but there was a delay of 14 to 15 seconds before the progress bar appeared. That's way too long.
