Description
When I track a user from the CLI, the GUI pops up a window with info about the user; this is both unexpected and nice, even with the delay in the window appearing.
What is unexpected and not so nice is when I go to close the window and I get what appears to be a warning message with text doesn't match the action I was taking, e.g. tracking a user. Instead it displays "You will see this window every time you access this folder." even though I wasn't in a folder, or making any attempt to work with KBFS at that moment.
Can this be updated to not look like I've done something wrong, and to have the text match what action I was taking that prompted the GUI to open in the first place?

Research direction
Start with shared/tracker/header.render.desktop.js, especially the message linked in the issue, and trace how the GUI window is opened and closed after tracking a user from the CLI. Done means the displayed message describes the action that opened the window rather than implying KBFS folder access.
