As someone pointed out earlier, this doesn't even have to be a pop-up, even
as implemented as a status disiplay within the sw_single module (or
whichever) with the OK/continue buttons right in the module would be enough.

It can be a standard window in the workflow instead of a popup. A summary
screen. It would look better (if there is much information to display) and it
would prevent from some side effects like focus stealing.

or any value 'like 120 which would display
the exit status for that many seconds so unattended scripts/installs could
proceed after that time.

Using a timeout makes it more complicated. We would need to add some "Stop"
button to possibly stop the timeout. I suggest using zypper in scripts instead
of yast.

I think just one value, not a host of sysconfig values could control it all,
and the use of a popup as the method of display can be whatever is easiest to
implement that gives the desired action.

Yes, I want to keep it simple.
