Title:
  Pretends that "Software Sources" window is a modal dialog when it
  isn't

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  update-manager 1:0.174.1, software-properties-gtk 0.92.6, Ubuntu Q

  1. Open Software Updater.
  2. Open System Settings and choose "Software Sources".
  3. Switch back to Software Updater.
  4. Choose "Settings".

  What happens:
  2. The "Software Sources" window opens.
  3. It is still possible to interact with Software Updater.
  4. A second "Software Sources" window opens, and everything in the Software Updater window becomes insensitive.

  What should happen:
  4. Focus switches to the already-open "Software Sources" window, and everything in the Software Updater window remains sensitive.

  Software Updater shouldn't pretend that Software Sources is a dialog
  modal to it. It isn't a dialog, and there are multiple other ways of
  accessing it.

  (Bug 1076832 is the equivalent bug in Synaptic.)
