If Emperor is built with libnotify-0.7 installed, and not disabled, this dialog is replaced by a notification. (earlier versions of libnotify require gtk+2 and thus can't be supported) – it is important to give the user some feedback and the opportunity to cancel long-running mount operations.

However, in your screenshot, the dialog has three buttons, which is clearly wrong. There should only be one. Does the dialog disappear when the drive / network location is fully mounted?

I consider this to be a bug in Ubuntu's notify-OSD -- it's not designed to allow buttons in notifications (which is a reasonable design decision) and provides a very shabby workaround for apps that request one anyway. I will try to find a workaround that doesn't compromise functionality on gnome-shell / other non-unity systems.
