Yep, adding that is in the raft of menu changes on my plate.

I believe this is because you originally set it up to point to the WRW
page; from the man page it looks like it has to be launched with
file ... | URL ... | -
but if you can give me a command to just launch the GUI I can change it.

This also comes up with "eject". If you tell it to disable, it creates
a file ~/.OWdefaults which consists of:
OpenWindows.ObsoleteNotice: True
Perhaps there's some sensible system-wide way to suppress it?

In my case, there also followed an amusing focus condition with the
already-amusing "you can now eject the disk manually" dialog box, but
perhaps that will go away after the next slew of focus-behavior changes.
(I could move the dialog box but could only get it to stay focused by
selecting it from the taskbar.)
