what is normal? are you saying lenses should create a gtkwindow of their 
own to get credentials? What if you have lots of lenses? when should 
they ask the user to log in? On opening of the dash?

I don't like the idea of a heap of different popups asking for 
credentials appearing on opening the dash or doing a search for the 
first time, I think lenses should wait until you open their page.
