I don't see how this is a problem with the error dialog generated when the server couldn't be reached (the only error dialog I have seen with Safari, and indeed the only one I'm talking about). I don't expect Safari to give me an error if I was able to connect to the server and get an error from it. In that case, I should certainly see the page error. But if the server can't be reached, there's no page to view, hence no error to be concealed. ...and it would be nice if the dialog boxes would go away, right away. But if I want to just close the tab with the error, clicking on the x to destroy the tab forces me to first get rid of the dialog. So for you they may go away quickly, but I think there are quite a few extra steps between quickly and the 'instantly' that I want :).
