 Again I thought you were referring to that another bug. Anyway,
installed 10.3, and I see its also YCP code that pops up this dialog,
yast-gtk is just following orders here. Unfortunately, Metacity kinda of
sucks for this out-of-nowhere dialogs that yast guys seem to like more
and more. A work-around for yast-gtk is out of question.

 So, I will direct this to YCP guys. This popup dialogs are an annoyance
in KDE too, because the task bar gets highlighted for no reason, and
other desktops where you need to press to show. This should be
integrated with the rest of the system update scripts window. In fact, I
think this whole thing should happen in background and the user should
be only notified in case of error.

 I will open another bug report for Metacity with the test case from
#326158. Maybe another for the stupid "Yes"-¨No" install more packages
dialog.

Cheers,
 Ricardo
