If I enter a wrong username/password in the Subscribe dialog, I get a error
dialog and when I click it away (OK), the Subscribe dialog keeps saying "Please
wait..." and the progress indicator is moving. Even if nothing is really being done.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add newsgroup account for server privatenews.microsoft.com
2. click "Manage newsgroup subscriptions" in the main window
2. enter some username and password
3. click away (OK) the error dialog

Actual Results:  
"Subscribe" dialog is busy

Expected Results:  
"Subscribe" dialog should either disappear or indicate, that authentication
failed and it can not display the list of groups. Actually is should stop, as if
the user clicked the "Stop" button (it wasn't doing anything in the first place).

Confirmed on TB 2.0.0.15pre on Linux. Probably a simple fix.

The checkin to bug 437930 makes this effectively moot now (you get the enter new/retry/cancel dialog, and the cancel kills the spinner).
