Bug Description

Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose

Today's update on Intrepid was very welcome, however, the first thing I was asked to do after updating was register. I decided to oblige, and after I clicked 'confirm' or 'send' or whatever, the program stopped responding.

Turns out a thank you dialog popped up and would not let me use the program until I clicked ok, but it popped under the open window! And, nope, I'm not using compiz.

Just a suggestion; this bug should be superseded by Bug #285684 (VirtualBox2 has an annoying registration window pop-up)

I will look into disabling the registration request, which should fix this bug then, too.
