Hi,
Thanks for adding skip_quotawarn -- I'll add that to my dotfiles shortly.
Since I haven't done that yet, though, quotawarn popped up again, and I
noticed a few other issues:
The UI is somewhat confusing -- there's both an OK and a Cancel button,
even though they appear to do the same thing, and the message isn't asking
a question. Now that I think about it, though, perhaps it would be useful
to ask if the user wants to run helpquota, and have the ok button do so.
Also, the dialog seems to block -- my startup tasks did not complete until
after I dismissed the dialog (though perhaps this is intentional to ensure
the user sees the message?)
