Well, now that you mention it... I had to enable this by hand, but it 
was taken from a gpg-howto, so it was not a that conscious decision to 
remember. ;o)

If I were on a dial-up (and I was some years ago) I wouldn't want to 
have messages pop up all the time. Right now it's uncomfortable enough 
when a warning about non-validated sigs pops up. Considering there 
already is an icon and a text below the headers, it's somewhat 
redundant.

You could simply offer a "fetch key + validate" option for such 
messages.
