From article <11067@claris.com>, by peirce@claris.com (Michael Peirce):
| ASIDE: It sure seems to me that INIT's need some way to communicate with 
| users other than just X-ing themselves out.  I've been thinking about a
| mechanism where if there is a problem the user can read about it in the
| Chooser (or Control Panel) when they bring up the normal UI.  The UI 
| would say something like, "Couldn't find a Public Folder" or "AppleTalk
| is not turned on."  What do people think of this idea?

  I like this idea a bit, but wonder about its execution. Would we just
have INITs write to a file in the sys folder called "INIT logfile" that 
the cdev/chooser whould read and possibly parse? Also, it would be
really nice if we could get a notification mgr note saying "Some INITs
are having trouble. Check ther Error Log in the Control Panel."
