Password prompt "freezes" system during presence of a drop-down menu

Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnome-keyring
While highlighting a security setting from the network manager drop-
down menu (to manually connect to a network), I received a password
prompt. This caused the computer to "freeze". I could move the mouse,
but I couldn't click on anything; my only choice was to restart X. The
prompt was caused by network manager automatically connecting to a
preferred wireless network.
I have been able to reproduce this bug twice: the first time was
accidentally and caused me to lose all my open windows - very
frustrating. The second time was intentional. This should be fixed as
it has a potentially catastrophic affect on wireless users (and maybe
wired?): users can lose very important work if they have a blip in
their internet connection - and possibly during other times when a
admin password is asked for.
Fix: Show an error message stating that the mouse could not be
grabbed.
