Couple of issues:

You are prevented from viewing *any* galleries in the List view if the
current grouping contains any password protected galleries that you do not
have the password for.  For example, browsing all of User A's galleries,
you are *immediately* presented with a password dialog. If you do not have
the password for that gallery, you have to way of viewing any of the rest
of the grouping.

I also don't think we should show the password dialog until we actually
try to view the gallery itself.  Maybe a "locked" image as the gallery tile
thumbnail should be displayed when we have not "authenticated" to a
particular gallery yet.

We also need to implement some sort of better check for things like
Ansel's blocks.  Right now, images and galleries that are passwd protected
show up in the various blocks, and when you mouse over an image, for
example, the image is briefly displayed and then is replaced by the login
form in the floating div where the previewed thumbnail should be.

I'm also not sure that a non-owner with edit permissions should be able to
change a gallery password....and if we *do* want to allow it, there is an
issue that when the password is changed and we are asked for the new
password when being redirected back to the gallery view, after a successful
"authentication", a "No gallery found" error is returned.
