async exceptions display

[Julian Wood]

For a while any exception you got back from an async request would  
fade out the page, and then overlay it with the normal tapestry blue  
and yellow. The problem was that the transparent overlay was  
impossible to read against the background of your web page. The next  
problem is that it was impossible to scroll to the top of the error  
(the stack trace moves with the scroll). Then after a while we got a  
nice orange dojo dialog box in the middle of the page which was quite  
useful. But about a week ago or so it changed back to the original  
(this is the tap 4.1.2 snapshot timeline I'm describing). I figured  
it would probably change again, but it hasn't. Am I the only one who  
gets this exception display? Or does everyone go roll their own  
straight away? This is FF2, btw.

Thanks,
J
