Hej Jim!
No, we don't dismiss anything, but as I said it is no solution. Yes, and we do
use "appear" event in over 200 situations
when I grep it. We are very well aware of it.
You have to remember that it is not only about displaying something. A lot
happens before displaying something
and it would be strange to popup something only during the appearing phase
which is a small time of initialization.
That is the reason why appear is not good enough. Before appear a lot of
things happen the class/object hierarchy code,
the language package(s) are loaded, rpc connection for the app is executed etc.
Do you understand now that it is much more complicated
than only the display/appear time.
