If you run wisotool2 -q without a specific command, you'll get the gui to select things. I would expect this to run those quietly and automatically -- and it does, sort of. Except the warn function is coded to give warnings based on the gui that was run without testing for quietness, so you periodically get interrupted with workaround messages.

Possible fixes: Test for quiet in working around wine bug function before the warn call Test for quiet in the warn function in general (could have unintended effects for legitimate warnings) Refuse to run gui in quiet mode (probably bad as unattended would be a good option to expose in the UI anyway)

Attached is a patch for the first option.

I've reduced the number of popups by putting a description of the fix right in the initial workaround warning.

I've also added a short timeout to w_warn in unattended mode. I think together these are enough of a fix.
