Of course, the same users who don't look at error messages are also those
who 
have their window manager set so that the window under the cursor
automatically 
pops to the front, thereby burying any dialog boxes that you might try to
put in 
front of them...

(and then of course complaining because the tool is waiting for them to
press a 
button in the dialog box which they've just buried).

That's a bit less of a problem in IC61, but you're still slightly at the
mercy 
of window manager focus stealing prevention behaviour...
