I *hate* it when applications do that. Just as I'm trying to read the 
message, take a screen shot, or whatever, the message disappears. I 
think that's one of the worst things you can do in an application.

If the message isn't important enough to require it to stay visible 
until the user explicitly closes it, then it shouldn't go into a dialog 
in the first place.
