That is indeed present at a glance, yes, the tenth of a second
maybe. Thanks for the answer, the wonderful Nelson Beebe has
pointed me in private to the translate-shell which yet was unknown
to me, and it is a pretty cool thing that is much better, i will
henceforth use it. (I opened an issue because he does not really
need bash and such, then only GNU awk is necessary. Maybe not
even that, since HTTPS is via cURL, but, that deep i have not yet
looked.)

I have had the impression that the time settings do not really
matter much. I can change it to 0.1 and it does not mean a thing.
Maybe i am missing a setting so that the time values are ignored??
I would think more towards 5 (five) seconds before i am there.

Oh, bad english, i did not mean make the modal dialog non-modal,
but i meant that in practice the messages skip as fast as
possible (timeout 0.0), only the modal thing not as it is awaiting
user input.
