Only statisticly. Someone's been a bit lazy. Of course it should give an
error indication.

"BZ"ed?

BugZilla-ed!

  It *does* give an error message.  Your argument is instead that it
should produce a shiny dialog box that you have to click on, vs a
terse announcement on STDERR.

If it's *supposed* to produce that shiny dialog box (quick look at
source will tell you), and it doesn't, then it should have a bug filed
against it with Fedora.  If it's not supposed to, and you think it
should, then it's an upstream request.

Thanks,  I assume/expect (innocent that I am!) that a GUI would give me
a GUI indication - even if it was only a redirect of STDERR ; after
all, it starts off its "looking at the drive" window & then
vanishes.  I would hope (NOT being a designer/programmer) that it would
come back to the top window, showing the available drives, so that I
had the choice of continuing with it.

Thanks to you both for your clarifications, I'll see what I can do next!

Dave
