hardward driver app keeps coming up in lucid

[Jacob Schmude]

I think more problematic than it coming up automatically is the fact
that, by all reports, it seems to block Orca. I can't test this myself,
as I don't have any hardware in my system that uses proprietary drivers,
so can't add my experience of this. One thing is certain however, for a
fully accessible system the accessibility solution should *never* be
blocked from reading a dialog such as this. Running the drivers app
(jockey-gtk) on my system doesn't block orca when run manually though,
and since it doesn't come up automatically I can't see if it blocks orca
in that case or not.

My guess is that your system does have such hardware, and its popping up to tell you, although I would have thought it was only supposed to show a notification, not actually bring up a window.
