To be honest, I can't remember raising a bug/enhancement specifically about the 
popup dialog.

I raised bug 13602 (https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13602) about 
alarm settings, way back in August last year, which captured the first 
discussions about alarms in a beta forum.  This was before there was any work 
done on alarms (no popup then, or any way to snooze).

The intention was such that this covered cases where people want music to come 
on at alarm time, via the alarm settings, to define what happens when the alarm 
fires, to ensure the mechanism was flexible.

This was marked as out of scope for 7.5, and targetted for 8.0.  Fair enough.

But then it was hijacked by someone suggesting that there were 3 options; 
snooze, stop, continue, which later turned into the dialog approach that we 
have today.  There have been SVN checkins associated with this bug, to do with 
the dialog display, which will be in before 8.0.  This was not what my bug was 
raised about, and hopefully it won't get closed when the changes are officially 
released.  I think it could be harder to change the approach flexibility of it 
later, if the current mechanism is coupled too closely to the underlying alarm 
mechanism.

I don't think I raised another bug report since this one, as this is still in 
New state.
