I am for this becoming a dialog.  When it has come up, I never seemed
to get down there in time.  Though I thought I did -- it seemed more
like the button just didn't do anything!  Regardless, it's an urgent
message and something will most certainly be interrupting my work in
10 seconds if I don't act on it, so it should be a dialog.

Can you link to the kde-core-devel discussion?
