You have been subscribed to a public bug:
The handling of dialogs on the desktop is rather unusable in Hardy Heron
with latest updates applied.
This make Ubuntu rather poor for the naive user!
For example:
Create an ASCII text file on the desktop ("test.txt"). Make it
executable. Double click on it. A dialog appears saying "Do you want
to run test.txt, or display its contents?".
My naive user doesn't know what to do, and while he is still wondering,
a second dialog appears, saying "Opening test.txt: You can stop this
operation by clicking cancel." This dialog appears ON TOP of the first.
Unfortunately, clicking cancel in this dialog does NOT work. You have
to somehow go back to the first dialog, which is now partially or
totally hidden, and select an action from there.
Please, please try to fix such issues. I am trying to set up an ex-
Windows user with Ubuntu instead, and I feel really embarassed that it
is not as easy to use as it should be...
The same problem seems to happen with compiz and metacity.
