I have no idea why this happens, but for one day gpk-updates-viewer creates every few minutes *two* modal dialogs saying: "Could not get updates. Failed to handle request." (approximate translation). The details are: "Operation was cancelled.".

There are two issues with this:
- The dialogs are modal, but have no parent. I guess they are designed to be shown when the main updates dialog is visible, but here it's not the case. The second dialog blocks the first one, so you cannot close it, but when you Alt+Tab to them it's not always the second one that appears since they are not always on the same workspace. So the end result is that you have a dialog you do know how to close.
- Error dialogs should not appear out of nowhere. I've asked to perform no action, so I don't care if the operation was cancelled. I guess a good rule is that if the main updates dialog is hidden, no modal dialog should be shown.


I'm using 3.4.2 on Fedora 17.
