No, if the authentication fails in the monitor, then an overlay icon is
shown over the corresponding project item in the tree. And the error
message is shown if you select that project.
Popping up an auth dialog in the monitor is a bad idea, because it would
block until the user actually notices it. But it's a monitor and it
should continue monitoring the projects no matter what.
If a project fails to monitor properly, it is marked (with the overlay)
and the user can resolve the problem when (s)he opens the monitor dialog.

That's very, very strange.
I assume killing the process and restarting the monitor resolves the
problem?
Is it reproducible with your internal url? Or does this happen only
randomly? If reproducible, could you tell me the exact url?
