Gnome client UI resets to main screen when account connection is re-established

Issue generated from Tuleap's migration script. Originally submitted by: Maxim Cournoyer (mcournoyer)

A detailed description of the bug. Use following fields for description field:

* Environment:
Any recent Gnome client (version tested: built from sources as of 2018-02-08)

* Reproduce steps:

  1. Open the Gnome client.
  2. Enter or create a new chat conversation.
  3. Manually disconnect then connect again the network (use the Ethernet cable, the Wi-Fi killswitch, etc.)
  4. Notice that when daemon notices about the disconnection, the client redraws its UI to show the main screen and the user is kicked out of its current conversation view.

* Expected result:
The view should be maintained to the current conversation. If the network problem persists (after a threshold of say, 5 seconds), a visual hint should notify the user that there is currently no connectivity.

* Actual result:
The user is disoriented/confused since the UI changes under their feet without any action on their part.
