I'd like to ask users of Bazaar GUI based on QBzr, especially users of 
Tortoise Bzr and Bazaar Explorer.

Currently we have --ui-mode flag for most of q-dialogs to prevent 
auto-closing the dialog when operation has finished. The main intent was 
to provide a chance to user see an error message if any, and maybe 
re-launch the action with other options.

Last few days I'm using and dogfooding bzr-explorer for my work. I found 
--ui-mode for some action is very boring in the case when operation has 
finished successfully. For example: qcommit stays on the screen after it 
has committed my changes successfully. That's boring. If there are no 
errors then I'd like to have it closed automatically when operation 
finished. Unfortunately our --ui-mode flag prevents this.

So my intent is to slightly change the behavior of --ui-mode and 
auto-close the dialogs on success.

But this change will effectively breaks old behavior and I don't like to 
break backward compatibility without a note. So I think the best way for 
me is to provide a configurable knob to change the behavior of --ui-mode.

Have you any opinion on the existing behavior? Does it important for you 
to see the success result on the screen and close the dialogs manually 
(with Esc or Alt+F4)?
