There are some users who have ctfmon disabled, but (inexplicably?) have a working system.

They are rightly annoyed that we pop up a warning that stops them from using Terminal properly. By the principle of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" we have clearly done something wrong.

We need to balance the needs of #4448 and #8228 here. Perhaps we can offer light dismiss or a hard dismiss option that records the dismissal in app state (#8324).

How do we ensure that users who are having input issues are helped by this notice, but users who are not are not annoyed?
