Bug Description

When installing limewire ( using the deb file available on their website), I am unable to install it using the default deb handler. It starts installing dependencies and eventually 'freezes' on "Preparing sun-java6-jre". Further investigation shows that if I click "terminal" I see that sunjava is waiting for me to accept their license.

Any time a package halts for information, it should popup a message or automatically expand the terminal.

The behaviour is the same on both Hardy and Intrepid ( both updated to latest version in repositories )

I implemented a timeout now that will expand the terminal automatically if no activity is seen on the termianl after a certain amount of time.
