For all you know could be about to delete some important files by pressing the okay button. I don't know how I first accountered this, but this is how I got it today: I tried to unmount a USB flash drive within Nautilus, while another terminal still had it as its current working directory. The attempt first popped up a sane error warning that it couldn't do it (cannot unmount volume, an application is preventing the volume from being unmounted). Then moments after okaying away that one, this one popped up. I have seen this before, and not while unmounting a volume within Nautilus. -- (This box runs FC6, my others run FC4 & FC5, in case that's important to the thread.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
