I've noticed xmessage showing up every time I do something in YaST too.
Someone using the software does not care why a program crashes, and they care
even less about an error when they dismiss that program and an error message
shows up.
I hope that we do not seriously consider shipping the distro with such a
broken, unprofessional dialog (regardless of using xmessage, zenity, or
kdialog), especially when it is displayed after every instance of using YaST.
Aaron's points are great ones, and he suggests good solutions.
We should not communicate to the user in cryptic forms about things they do not
care about, ever. If it's really important, the computer should take care of
it, or just silently log it away, where the user could retrieve the information
if asked to do so.
To put it in perspective: Would you like your car to pop up an xmessage on your
windshield every time you changed the station on your radio and it didn't find
a station? (That is, in between radio scans.)
