I think more problematic than it coming up automatically is the fact that, by all reports, it seems to block Orca. I can't test this myself, as I don't have any hardware in my system that uses proprietary drivers, so can't add my experience of this. One thing is certain however, for a fully accessible system the accessibility solution should *never* be blocked from reading a dialog such as this. Running the drivers app (jockey-gtk) on my system doesn't block orca when run manually though, and since it doesn't come up automatically I can't see if it blocks orca in that case or not.
