Indeed – I think it matters most, is to tell where and what the cause is, so the user has a start to recover (like he/she can with a text telling what looks wrong why) >>> 2.

They can still be closed, usually with and x or o.k. or the like (see this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop-up_notification#/media/File:Windows_8_Notification.png) .
