That blasted Program Manager window rears its ugly head

In the mail? Is someone going to walk up and give it to me? These are
the things that "receive" brings to mind. I understand the sentence, but
because of "receive"'s connotations, it comes off a bit stilted.
I'm sure it's just comfort and habit, but I still stick with "The window
manager appears."
Peace,
