Codec search opens one window to ask me about searching, another window while searching

Bug Description

Ubuntu Gutsy, without any extra codecs installed

1. Try to open an MP3 file.
2. In the "Search for suitable codec?" alert, click "Search".
3. Observe the resulting "Searching for appropriate codecs window".

What happens: Steps 2 and 3 are separate windows, requiring an unnecessary mouse click.

What should happen:
* Steps 2 and 3 are the same progress window: "The plugin to play this type of file (MP3) is not installed. Totem is searching the software repositories for an appropriate plugin."
* The combined progress window has a "Cancel" button, so if I want to cancel the operation before the search finishes, I can. Otherwise, I can cancel it in the resulting list of plugins.
* Any necessary warning about the software not being supported is shown in the resulting list of plugins, not in a preliminary alert.

That's not true: I'm not requesting any new features at all. It's a bug that unnecessarily many clicks are required.

I'm going to guess gnome-app-install, because that's what bug 146167 is currently filed under.

This is a feature request, not a bug, there is no functionality affected with 2 separate windows opening, therefore this is being marked as Wishlist. Thank you.
