"Position is unknown" message

[naoliv]

Sometimes I am seeing a "Position is unknown" while loading some data into JOSM.
I don't know how to reproduce this, since loading the same data again it doesn't display the message.
Could this message be more informative, please?

from GeoChat plugin:

    /**
     * Returns current coordinates or null if there is no map, or zoom is too low.
     */
    private static LatLon getPosition() {
        if( Main.map == null || Main.map.mapView == null )
            return null;
        if( getCurrentZoom() < 10 )
            return null;
        Projection proj = Main.getProjection();
        return proj.eastNorth2latlon(Main.map.mapView.getCenter());
    }

    public void login( final String userName ) {
        // snip
        LatLon pos = getPosition();
        if( pos == null ) {
            fireLoginFailed("Position is unknown");
            return;
        }
        // snip
    }

    public void postMessage( String message, String targetUser ) {
        // snip
        LatLon pos = getPosition();
        if( pos == null ) {
            fireMessageFailed("Position is unknown");
            return;
        }
        // snip
    }

This message is displayed when zoom level is too low to tie a user to a specific place. But it should be made unobtrusive, I'm on it.

So yes, I've just updated the plugin to use new unobtrusive notification messages. The message in question appears when either the map window is not loaded yet, or zoom level is too low (less than 10).

(and also I've just changed message text, fixing the reported issue)
