Hi - following webrev replaces some of the error dialogs we posted
when we got Transport and Catalog Refresh errors by a call to just
log the error and display the notification icon in the status bar.

13975 Transport errors should be logged rather than displayed in a dialog
Is this really the desired behavior for a GUI?
Yep
If the user requested
an operation, but you're unable to perform it because of transport
errors, don't you want to notify the user that the operation failed?
Yep - the user is still notified when a Transport error occurs.
The key difference is:
Only let me know about the transport error with an error dialog when I
really need to know, such as when I do an Install, otherwise give me an
indication that there might be an issue via the notification icon, but
don't bug me with a dialog. Its all about reducing the noise level for
the user, but still giving them access to the errors if they need/want them.
