Title:
  "Run this action now" leaves user in limbo

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I get the attached prompt on my desktop a few times a year. Usually
  for flashplugin-installer but possibly for ms fonts too.

  I click 'Run this action now' as directed and I am prompted for my
  password. But, the conversation ends there and after waiting for some
  time I decided to click the only other button, 'Close'.

  I have no idea if I am doing this correctly or not, but one of these
  scenarios should happen:

  1) After choosing to run the action, the dialog should dismiss itself
  after issuing whatever commands it issues behind the scenes after
  requesting my password.

  2) The text should explicitly tell the user "Click on 'Run this action
  now'", enter password and then click the "Close" button.
