Is this avoidable? Is this a bug?

I'm using opensuse 11.0 and gnome.

And there is nothing visible (e.g. a window title or something
like this) which indicates which program it is what shows
up this stuff?

Nope. None unless I type the password. I think it was something from gnome related to hal. I'll power up the printer now and check [...] It's gone!

The problem has suddenly gone away, and I did nothing, I promise :-)
Except the hplip update, you know,, but that is not related. Hold on... this is probably why it dissapeared:

hal-cups-autoco died. I can live with that, I don't need it. But I guess you want to find out. The rpm version is "cups-autoconfig-0.1.0-113.1". I can open a bugzilla if you want.

And there are also no ckeck boxes like
[ ] configure it now
[ ] do not configure it now, but come up later again
[ ] go away and do not come up again for this device
[ ] get lost and never come up again for any device

ROTFL!

Heh! I was going to suggest exactly that to the gnome guys ;-)

No, nothing of the kind. Password first. I have forgotten the details of what came later. It did work, but the test print page had the margins off by 1 cm at least, so I deleted the config and tried the "normal" way, that you know it worked.

Strange software.

Indeed!

By the way:
I neither use Gnome nor KDE. I use only a plain window manager.
There are too many "friendly" and "helpful" automatisms
in the desktop systems which annoy me - which does of course
not mean that the desktop systems are not the right thing
for usual users.

I feel the same. I use gnome mainly because it has less gadgetry; but sometimes I do use kde, and of course, many kde apps on their own.

XFCE its very nice.
