[Bug 790450] [NEW] 'Submitting now...' spinner runs forever on usefulness submit fails

[Aaron Peachey]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: software-center

When submitting a usefulness vote and the rnrclient encounters an exception, the spinner with text 'Submitting now...' does not change to the expected error notification, and instead continues to spin forever, leading the user to believe that the submission is still in progress (or that there is a problem, but they have no way to tell what it is).
User is unable to cancel or re-submit usefulness on that review until restarting the application.
Issue exists in version 4.02.

STR: Press Yes/No to submit usefulness for a review and immediately
disconnect your network connection (i.e. before the submission is able
to complete).

Propose this is fixed for natty.
