  So how would you name them, since you're the one blocking on wording, you may as well suggest those names ;)

  Ok, since you're better at the wording, please suggest a full wording for the dialog.

  I still disagree with Warning, I'll change it to Question once you give me the correct wordings for the other items.

  I'm not going to fix Dolphin *right now*. I may create a new feature for KMessageDialog that allows for people to use different wording instead of "Don't ask me again", and maybe then port Dolphin to it, but that's separate from this feature.

  What part of "you can't block this feature on an already existing problem" you think means i feel attacked?
