[Bug 874766] [NEW] Update frequency combo boxes reflect wrong values after failing authentication

[Dylan McCall]

Public bug reported:

In the Updates tab, the combo boxes for controlling update frequency
will all show the wrong value if you change their values and cancel or
fail out of the authentication dialog.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Software Sources as an administrator (not as root).
2. In the Updates tab, change the value of any one of the four combo boxes for controlling the frequency of checking for updates.
3. Cancel the authentication prompt or enter the wrong password multiple times.
4. Note that the value reflected in the combo box is incorrect; it is still the value you selected, even though it was never set.
