Bug Description

What happens:
1. I find the "weather indicator" application in the USC and click on "More Information".
2. I see that I need to enable the "Universe" source in order to install it.
3. I click the "Use this source" button in the USC.
4. The button greys out, but nothing else appears to happen.
5. I can click the back arrow, then click "More infor" again, and the "Use this source" button is no longer grayed out.

What should happen:
1. I find the "weather indicator" application in the USC and click on "More Information".
2. I see that I need to enable the "Universe" source in order to install it.
3. I click the "Use this source" button in the USC.
4. The button greys out, a progress indicator appears like when installing an application, and an item is added to the "Progress" icon, which appears in the top bar.
