Most of the time what I want to do when an error occurs is to log the error
and display a short, human readable message, with a 'Details>>' button for
displaying the complete stack trace, if available.

Unfortunately it seems that neither ErrorDialog or MessageDialog are
suitable for this purpose, but maybe there already exists some other Dialog
subclass that implements this (rather basic) behavior?

I would of course prefer to be able to use a 'standard' dialog for
displaying error messages, but the whole MultiStatus thing just seems too
awkward. (Am I the only one who thinks so?)

Why aren't they suitable?

I read that you have to pass a MultiStatus to get the Details Button.
Did you do that ?
