[TYPO3-hci] Where to place the important warnings

Hi all,
I have been wondering about the following for a while: important
warnings (like Install tool being enabled, TYPO3 version not being up to
date, etc.) are displayed in the "About modules" screen which was the
unconditional start page until TYPO3 4.1.
Now since TYPO3 4.2 it is possible to set your preferences to start in
another module, which is extremely convenient. The drawback however is
that you don't see the important warnings of the "About modules" screen
when you log in anymore.
So I think these messages should be place elsewhere or at least some
kind of reminder should appear somewhere in the UI to tell you that you
have some warnings to look at. One possibility I was thinking about was
to add a warning icon in the top (menu) bar. It would appear only when
there are warnings and clicking on it would lead to the "About modules"
screen (or some new screen).
Opinions?
Cheers
