for me, the dialogue is visible as soon as the first flash starts to fade (i don't get to see it appear). the second flash is quite some time after... i would say as long as it takes for the first flash to fade away. the second flash is a single frame, no fading.

is this a duplicate of this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-utils/+bug/840432

although it only happens to me after I installed 12.04

I am seeing the same thing in 64bit Ubuntu 12.04 with Nvidia GPU. The first flash I am fine with but the 2nd happens when the save dialog appears and is unneccarry.

I did a clean install.
