Comment (by rsiddons):

 The pop-ups are intended to improve auto-play with media that has
 different media types on them (eg. photos & music)

 The frontend isn't hanging/deadlocking. The code is displaying 2 modal
 pop-ups on top of each other - one for each of your USB sticks. If you
 action the top one the 2nd is cancelled (side-effect, not by design).
 However, if you cancel the first, you see the 2nd underneath ("the pop up
 window remains"), which has now lost focus. The only actions are then ESC
 or use a mouse to restore focus.

 Displaying multiple pop-ups simultaneously isn't acceptable: having
 multiple media attached isn't handled properly.

 Also the pop-ups don't respect the autoplay settings: they should only
 appear when auto-play is enabled by a plug-in. The only way to prevent
 them appearing if you have USBs permanently inserted, is by listing them
 in the "MediaMonitor Ignore devices" setting, which isn't correct.

 This feature should be reverted to prevent annoyance and the design re-
 considered.
