Public bug reported:

I am a novice Linux user learning Ubuntu.  I just tried rebooting my
system.  After reboot a modal window appeared on the desktop asking for
authentication of my Gmail account.   I believe this came from the
"online accounts" I configured to access my Google contacts.

This window captures the keyboard and nothing can be done on the system
until it has been dismissed.  I manage my passwords using an online
password management system that is integrated with the web browser.  For
me to get my passwords, I must be able to change focus, enter my master
password, and copy-paste the long password to the dialog.  But none of
this is possible while this dialog captures focus.

Can you please change this Window and make it not modal to the entire
desktop?
