[Sugar-devel] Error messages in Sugar (was: Re: F11-0.88 unmerged patches summary)

Excerpts from Anish Mangal's message of Thu Jul 01 21:01:17 + 2010:

 Ok, how about a normal alert (no fancy colors), that doesn't get timed
 out, and displays an error icon beside the text.

Unlike notifications (e.g. download started/finished), error messages
should never time out. The user needs to know about them, even if the
error happened while transferring a large file and they went fetching
a cup of tea in the meantime.

I am trying to envision a classroom of first graders fetching a cup of tea:)
