No, I wouldn't mind it being in the foreground; I would just want it
to run unattended, and have the option to cancel (and presumably run
it later) if I needed to use Chandler *right* *now*.

You're hoping wrong. It's one of those pesky ok/cancel dialogs.
To be clear, I hate popups as much as anyone, what is the
alternative ?
Running a compaction in the background, while technically possible,
would slow it down considerably while making chandler itself pretty
sluggish.
If there are enough people unhappy with this 'courtesy' dialog, I
can add a pref to not have it. Periodically, every 7 days, your
chandler would go away for a little (or not so little) while,
without notice.
I was also thinking of adding a similar 'courtesy' dialog, this
time with a 'shut up forever' option, that would suggest a
repository backup to be done.
(a true backup, not a dump).
A backup is much less disruptive than a compact, it's mostly just
copying (large) files around. I was thinking of adding an option to
do a backup on a regular basis in the background. The only caveat
is that each backup is a full backup of the repo and that can chew
up a fair amount of diskspace.
Opinions ?
