I've not seen anyone else describe this problem, but it started
for me after I installed TOS 1.4 on my 1040ST.

Every now and then when I double-click on a GEM application,
instead of running it, the desktop gives me the show/print/cancel
dialog box.  When I click on cancel and double click on the
application again, it always runs normally the second time.
I haven't been able to detect any pattern as to when this
happens, but I'm reasonably certain it's not the result of
clicking on the wrong file.  I would estimate it happens
5-10% of the time, and it can happen with any .PRG program
(I haven't noticed it with .TOS or .TTP programs).

Has anyone else observed this?  Any solutions?  If no one else
has encountered it, I'll start ripping stuff out of my auto
file to see if I can find the culprit.
