[mythtv-users] invoke mythmessage with timeout?

I've been playing with mythmessage to display callerid info on my dev
box which is running master.  When I run mythmessage, the text stays
on the FE until the user hits the OK button.  Is there a way to call
mythmessage with a timeout so the dialog will disappear on it's own
after X seconds?  I'm using it for caller ID and there's no point in
keeping the info on the screen after the phone stops ringing.

Looking at the help and the source I don't see any, but I figured it's
best to ask before I start working on a patch.
