"1. Create a partition on your local hard drive, something that nautilus will place under "Places" in the left pane.
-
Click on it, so that Nautilus tries to mount it. -- You should be presented with an "Authenticate" dialog --
-
Intentionally "forget" about the box, and don't enter a password.
In a few seconds, you should see an "Unable to mount ... " dialog box, with the error message
"DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible ..."
I believe this dialog box should not appear. In this case, the delay is not a failure of the system or hardware, but of the user to type a password.
Just tried on Jaunty. The issue is still there, although it takes a much longer time to reach it: It takes 300 seconds to timeout.
Now, it correctly removes the interaction dialog (user credentials), but still has the explanation dialog. I think the reaction from Ubuntu in this particular use case should just remove the interaction and be done. When it's clear that the user just forgot about it, there's no need to clutter the interface with Yet Another box saying what happened."
