--As of March 24, 2007 3:31:56 PM -0500, Ken Williams is alleged to have said:

Consider what happens if I'm busily typing away, and the dialogue box
pops up and grabs focus, and then whatever its default is gets
selected
because i hit space or enter.

That's exactly what a couple applications do on my machine (Backup.app
and a shareware reminder for SideTrack), and I agree it's annoying.  A
better behavior would probably be a bouncing dock icon that defaults to
"yes" after 30 seconds or whatever.  Still annoying, but it wouldn't
actually cause problems.

--As for the rest, it is mine.

How about calling Growl? You can have it call you back on click or timeout...
