Ok, now I get it, thank you :-)

Not entirely. I am all for easy configuring within GUI. 
Systemsettings -> Keyboard -> New way of dealing with unknown keys.
Which can be done by choosing layout, pressing unknown keys, you name 
it.

Me too (because I had to google and use xmodmap). But showing popup 
does not change the GUI setup -- it is another way to initiate 
configuring.

If anything notification system should be used -- the reason for this 
is notifications can be globally configured and I hope we will get 
notification log soon. So this is less distracting and uniform. I am 
simply against interrupting user. User has work to do, and there are 
already enough distractions. 

So:
popup dialog -> no
notification -> yes

Cheers,
