This seems to -still- be an issue on 14.04 with applications such as Nitro Tasks and Steam... There hasn't been any discussion in quite some time so I figured I'd make note about 14.04 in particular. It sure is a confusing task when a new Ubuntu convert fires it up and realizes they have to set up an account to log in to the service before "purchasing" the free application they're intending to install...
