Errors when using GM_notification on OSX with no Growl

[erikvold]

Some errors that I saw in the error console:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80570016 (NS_ERROR_XPC_GS_RETURNED_FAILURE) [nsIJSCID.getService]" nsresult: "0x80570016 (NS_ERROR_XPC_GS_RETURNED_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: resource://greasemonkey/GM_notification.js :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 5" data: no]

I'm -1 for using alert when the user is using osx without Growl for the 2 cases that it's currently being used fwiw.

I'm thinking that GM_logError should be used instead of using alert when the user does not have the nsIPromptService available. Unless there is a better idea, just my 2c.

Growl is not installed by default. Either we want users to see this information (use alert) or we don't (then why are we displaying it at all). Logging to the error console is as good as invisible to "real" users.

Alternatively: we'll go with alert. If users complain that it's annoying, perhaps we remove the alerts / just remove all this progress stuff.
