Public bug reported: I have a disk whose SMART status correctly reports as failing. This is reported in Ubuntu by the Disk Utility - see the attached screenshot. If I walk away from the computer for a while, when I return there are many of these message boxes stacked on top of each other. The Examine button is highlighted by default but there is no scenario where I need/want more than 1 or possibly 2 Examine Windows open concurrently or even sequentially, so I must repeatedly click OK with my mouse to dismiss all of these messages. It would be better if the first message box inhibited the display of further message boxes until it is dismissed.
Note: The issue that this an old-style message box rather than using the new notify-osd notifications is covered in bug #412440. Fixing that bug might fix this bug also, but in the meantime (or if that bug is closed as Wont-Fix) it would be beneficial to fix this bug.
