How about if the dialog said "All packages installed correctly", with
the options, "Quit", or "Return to Package Management". Also a checkbox
that says "Don't show me this again".

If the checkbox is selected then whatever button is picked will change
the setting for the user next time.

Does this not solve the problem and make everyone happy? These kinds of
warning dialogs with the option to permanently disable them are pretty
standard now.

And why the heck would this be stored in sysconfig? This is tweaking a
GUI not modifying system configuration/operation. In theory it could be
different for each user therefore a local ".yast" preference (or
similar) file is where it should be.
