[cdt-debug-dev] Modal error dialog boxes during debugging

There is no way to tell CDT never to show a particular type of error
dialog again(e.g. don't show this dialog box again).

E.g. loosing the connection may be a legitimate case of using a dialog
box for some debug targets, but for many embedded, flaky, debug
connections, this requester is a royal pain.

I'll find a suitable victim and submit a patch for comments. :-)

How about some less obnoxious way to communicate to the user that there
is a terrible condition logged, instead of stealing focus via a modal
dialog box?
