yeah, i like it basically..
What about the redundant blue (i) ? there's one top-left, another one
bottom right.. hmm.
About the text:
We should try to make a difference between main message and peripheral
explanation somehow.. The holy HIG Book refers to this as "primary"
and "secondary" text.
For more information on what i mean see:
http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/windows-alert.html.en#alert-text

Otherwise i think it is not a question of how much work or how
complicated work this would be to implement, rather than is the
concept ready enough for inclusion!?

good idea, though ;)
