Bookmarks Plugin Mod Request

As I reported in another thread, when using the bookmarks plugin, a minor usability nuisance is the dialog message that appears when exiting K-M asking me if I want K-M to update the shared bookmarks file. I understand the need for the message as a safety valve. However, I would like to see the dialog modified such that end-users can enable a check box such that the message no longer appears. Something like "Do not ask me again."
My reasoning is that any person who is using a shared bookmarks file via the bookmarks plugin, should be informed enough to know that K-M and the other browser do not necessarily maintain the exact same data in that file. Those users should be allowed to disable this dialog box.
If a new dialog box is not feasible, then how about at least allowing users to manually disable the dialog through a prefs.js setting? Something like:
user_pref("kmeleon.plugins.bookmarks.exitwarning", false);
A couple of lines in the browser source code to check this setting and the message is disabled. In this example the default setting would be true, of course.
Thank you.
