Consider what happens if I'm busily typing away, and the dialogue box
pops up and grabs focus, and then whatever its default is gets
selected
because i hit space or enter.
That's exactly what a couple applications do on my machine (Backup.app
and a shareware reminder for SideTrack), and I agree it's annoying. A
better behavior would probably be a bouncing dock icon that defaults to
"yes" after 30 seconds or whatever. Still annoying, but it wouldn't
actually cause problems.
--As for the rest, it is mine.
How about calling Growl? You can have it call you back on click or
timeout...
