I think this would way too annoying. I just want to provide a gentle 
nag. Not to frustrate users every time they try to launch 3D games which 
I suspect will happen if we modify all the related menu entries to 
launch a dialog box.

I am not a second life user either. I was basically checking it out when 
I began planning on a games spin and spend a few weeks researching the 
available ones. You might want to try out the client yourself. Doesn't 
take more than a few mins to create a user. I plan to write a few 
reviews shortly when I get more time.
