[Bug 1058070] [NEW] Pretends that "Software Sources" window is a modal dialog when it isn't

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

Public bug reported:

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.
