#215 new notification category for pending questions
Wishlist item:
if I start fink and hide the window, it's nice to get Growl-style messages when packages build.
One that would be nice, though, is knowing when the "Do you wish to continue? [Y/n]" messages pop up.
Ideally, the notifier plugin wouldn't get notified until after a short delay (so that you don't get notifications while you're trying to respond), but that isn't a big deal - Growl lets you turn off certain notifications, and I'm sure the others do, too.

This looks more like a feature request. Moving it there.

It would be easy to add a notifier hook for "Fink needs your attention" into the low-level prompt mechanisms (so you also get it for "download failed, what mirror to try next?"). Maybe have it appear only if there is no default-selection timeout? Having it only appear after "a short time" is a bit harder, since we only have one easy timeout timer and it's already in use (for the default-selection timeout). There are ways of doing multiple timers, but not as easy. Or could maybe fork the notifier "with a built-in delay" and then kill it after the selection is made, but that's pretty ugly.

Sure, sounds good. I guess the notification could be triggered regardless of the timeout, but I don't know if that would be too much noise with non-Growl notifiers.
I only mentioned the "ideal" case on the off-chance it was easy to add another timer. If not, no big deal.
