I think I understand what you mean. However I completely disagree with the 
idea. These little thing will add up to a lot of clutter; disturbances in a 
calm desktop experience. I'd rather opt for a new configuration tab with a 
list of disabled dialogs (but only if necessary!) where the dialogs can be 
re-enabled. It can be like the system notifications dialog, but then with 
dialog descriptions instead of events of course. AFAIK this is equal to what 
JRT proposes.

Just my 2ct.

Tijn Schuurmans
