Need to review all uses of pop-up information and the information bar

[butlerpd]

A full review of the use of pops for information/warning and the information bar needs to be made, and a consistent policy developed on when to use which venue (or when/if to use both). Items showing up in the info bar currently get recorded in a log. Do the popups? Pop ups can be annoying, but in many cases, if the user is expecting something to happen but nothing is because of some error, a popup is the correct solution. extra information should be put on the info bar rather than constantly popping stuff at the user.
