Description John Anderson 2016-07-20 14:00:39 UTC 
When trying to enable nvidia driver, the driver manager tries to disable UEFI secure boot and requests a password. However, the field where that password is to be entered is not accessible!!! The password entry field is obscured by the driver manager UI elements.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start with a system using UEFI secure boot and the nouveau video driver
2. Bring up "system settings" and open "driver manager"
3. Click on the nvidia driver (Recommended Driver)
4. Select "yes" in response to "Disable UEFI Secure Boot" and click "continue"
5. Attempt to enter password for disabling.

Actual Results:  
Cannot enter anything in the "password for disabling" entry field. Cannot enable Nvidia driver.

Expected Results:  
The driver manager should pop up a separate window for this input from the user to avoid interference between UI elements.
