Comment(by Eben):

 I've attached a sample of what this alert should look like.  Note that
 this is the first real example of the "modal alert" specification, which
 should ultimately be separate from "modal panels" (such as the object
 chooser, control panel, etc.)  The API should look very similar to that
 for non-modal alerts, accepting an icon, a title, a message, and an array
 of buttons.

 The icon should be rendered in the large size; all text is 2x normal size
 and centered; the title is bold while the message is not; the message box
 should fill 75% of the window width; everything is centered both
 horizontally and vertically.

 I think that this portion of this ticket can be implemented sooner than
 later, and we can save the less obtrusive notifications until that system
 is more robust.  In the meantime, we may want to choose a threshold for
 revealing this alert that is slightly more conservative in the amount of
 free space remaining, so that it gets handled before an emergency arises
 in most cases.
