setDisabled();
show();
QTimer::singleShot(2500, this, SLOT(setEnabled());
// you'll need to overload setEnabled(bool)

Regarding this is /the/ moment to break the users workflow and pull his 
excllusive focus, one could make this a fs window (covering Aarons "user 
confused about dialog source" argument)

Imho:
This event is exceptional and /outside/ the workspace/workflow.
Its handling should, can and must not be scheduled and the event cannot be 
ignored.
Therefore it's different from anything the VisualNotifications are used for 
and deserves a drastic treatment.

Also the more present the notification is, the less time will the user waste 
on recognizing the situation and the more time he'll have to plug the AC (in 
doubt)
