Niels, it will be done anyways (I mean, if not by us then by someone else, in fact it has been), as much as I agree with your general notion. But I'd rather have it under our control, so that we can make it as sane as possible. Some useful situations for the feature were pointed out. The thing is you are fighting windmills. By not providing the feature, you will likely not get the reaction "ah what a relieve, Haiku doesn't have these bothersome notifications". I mean you will likely not educate the users, they (some, many?) will simply miss a feature. *Everyone* here agreed that it can be annoying. But the level at which it is annoying is different for everyone. So the obvious solution is to provide the user a way to define the level (which btw I have searched for in Window, but frustratingly have not found). We can still make a point by choosing the default setting to be "critical" or something. I hope you can see this as a compromise. Best regards, -Stephan
