I'll take the opportunity to remind everyone of the http://lists.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-app-devel mailinglist. (I'm CCing it). I don't think logging in and that type of stuff should be done in lenses at all. I'd present the user with a normal dialog if there isn't a valid OAuth token.
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.
