Excerpts from Gary Martin's message of Sat Oct 16 17:05:20 +0200 2010:

> FWIW, I'd vote for use of the regular Sugar alert strip that appears below the toolbar. Using floating window dialogues goes against the fullscreen Sugar design.

+1
Dialogs are evil (especially, but not only if they're modal). I am barely
resisting (*) the temptation to rip out the WEP/WPA passphrase dialog.
Not only did I come across it during the cleanup series I'm preparing for
sugar, but it also caused Sugar to become unresponsive on my XO yet again:
Somehow this modal dialog was activated, but not raised to the top (and
with no way for the user to raise it).

(*) The only reason I'm resisting is that I want to finish other stuff
    first. ;)
