Other apps do not do this, they pop up but do not grab focus. If you look at the app, the popup is there for you. When someone is installing something, it will download things and you have to wait a while. You will do something else in the meantime, and it can go flashing in the taskbar for all it wants, youI do not want it to grab focus and annoy you with silly messages "ok". This can impossibly a good design:)
It reminds me of directX on window, with that annoying "windows will need to restart" message, with only an "OK" button. And there is no way to get rid of the popup box without rebooting. (Well, gc, this is probably the biggest offence (ie reminds me of ms directx) for the new rpmdrake, so let me say I generally like it, but this could be improved) Danny Danny
