Allow removal of GUI prompt on fatal errors

Add a new parameter 'alertOnFatalError' which guards
the displaying of the GUI alert on fatal errors, and
thus when false just gives the textual error.

Now I can do:

  while true
  do
    vncviewer alertOnFatalError=false vm:0
    sleep 1
  done

and it'll reappear when my VM appears without me getting error
dialogs.
