Our problem is that in a touch only situation, the extra insult is that there is no ESC key to press....  Also - our target market is one which the apps will generally be fullscreen.
Tom,
    if you would like to work on this, I would be happy to help and get it committed.

There are a couple of ways we would want to make it so that we could disable the ESC message:
    A Stage API
    Detect when there is no keyboard present (likely in many Embedded applications).

The Stage API would allow dedicated applications (like in a kiosk) to declare their dislike of the message.
What should we use for a name though ? Nothing I have thought of so far is very pleasant.
    Stage.setDisableFullScreenWarning()   (ick)
Kevin suggested to me:
     Stage.setEnableFullScreenWarning(boolean) with a default of true.
