I'm certainly no UI/UX person but this seems a good example of why
"popping-up" dialogs in an asynchronous environment is bad.  A
"notifications pending" system is better for this, where the user gets
an unobtrusive notification that there are events awaiting action and
they can go deal with those events when it's suitable.
