I tend to agree. I would much rather have to close the pop-up window
than have to navigate through Places, etc or use a file manager to
track it down. After all, if I insert an USB device, logically I want
to read what is on it or use it somehow right then. If that doesn't
involve browsing the files, it's a simple one-click to get rid of it.
