Not that anyone cares, but I can vouch that the above screenshot is real, it has happened to me. Of course, I'm not exactly an established member of the community, so no one cares about my vouching. Force quit on the window works, but leaves a background process. "End process" on the process, whose name is conveniently "hardy," does work. The problem is that "hardy" doesn't. I've tried this both from the cd using gmount-iso (gnome baker choked and trashed a cd), and directly from the upgrade manager. Neither works.
