I watch the terminal to make sure all goes well; I often catch problems
that way.  Defaulting to "close" would make it difficult to do this
consistently.  For short installs I might not even be able to click
quickly enough to win the race.

Please *don't* "fix" this by permanently defaulting to "close".  Then
instead of a minor inconvenience for many, it becomes a usability
disaster for the few.  I realize terminal output is logged somewhere so
it isn't quite catastrophic, but if the terminal is unreliable because
it disappears, you might as well just remove it completely.  Which is
not what I want.

Most users do not apply this level of vigilence and truly *would* like
the installer window to go away ASAP.  Different users have different
desires, or the checkbox wouldn't need to exist in the first place!

So please fix it to remember the user's desired setting.
