The good thing about bubbles is the fact you can ignore them. Also, the
top right corner of windows rarely have anything very critical in it.
Bubbles have a timeout that closes them after a certain time (AFAIK).

Dialogues on the other hand, have to be closed by the user, which in
this case means they have to have to call up the window from the window
list, and then close it.
