Comment(by salinasv):

 Just attached a new patch wich fix some stuff and implements a dismiss and
 edit button.

 Replying to [comment:21 kstange]:
 > There are a few different problems with this patch that I see:
 >
 > 1) I think that individual items, being possible to select within the
 treeview, ought to have some function, or else selection should not be
 possible.  I would suggest these things (as possibilities):
 I haven't added more buttons because they will not fit in the dialog and
 looks ugly. If someone want to add more actions I guess the best bet will
 be a context menu (stuff that I don't know how to do)

 >  d) Focus the newest treeview item and scroll to it when it appears.
 Didn't found a way to do this one.

 > 2) The messages are inconsistent.  They're sentence fragments now, which
 is easily enough fixed, but they should be simple statements describing
 what happened, since the dialog does not form actual sentences.
 I hope the commiter can fix this strings.

 > 3) When you request a popup notification, there is a field for a
 message, which formerly appeared in the dialog box that would pop up.
 This is missing from the new window.
 What do you mean?
