Yes. But it certainly helps if there is a temporal hint: normally the dialog should come immediately after starting a new application. So the user should know, that if she starts "New Media Server", and a question pops up about a port, almost without looking at the details she can can assume that this is about the program that was just started. This way is much easier for the user. > The problem for the "workstation" people is to build enough > infrastructure to make those simple questions and be able to act on > them, anything in that direction will help, otherwise you are just > ranting.
