Re: Kill other process's warning dialog

You know, if you are a *new* Mac developer, maybe you should listen to 
the many, many *experienced* Mac developers who are telling you that 
this is a terrible feature. End users just don't want this.

Plus, even if you use Accessibility, it probably won't work correctly 
with Firefox/Mozilla or OmniWeb or Internet Explorer. Each of those 
apps has its own, unique security warning dialog. (Firefox/Mozilla's 
may not even be using standard Mac OS controls--in that case, then 
Accessibility is completely powerless to control it.) Being able to 
fool Safari isn't a solution.
