In an install of M2 (updated to recent factory) the window is persistent. Using a recent GNOME Live CD (build 826), the window quickly flashes on screen and then closes. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
