I20070206-0010.

When an error ends up in the event loop a dialog is shown (see picture) which points to the .log for details and recommends to exit the workbench.

Unfortunately the dialog is modal and hence I cannot use the Error Log view. In addition I might not know where the .log is.

==> either provide a link in the dialog that opens the .log or add a 'Details >>' button that allows me to take a look at the new .log entry that caused this dialog.
