I would also agree with this. All such tools in other products let the 
user review data to be transmitted at the time it is about to be sent.

I would suggest that if we want this module in dev builds, especially 
builds which might not include installers, that the dialog offering to 
send usage data is displayed when the IDE is shut down; and that it 
include a prominent checkbox (or button) to not ask again. Please also 
keep in mind the needs of developers trying dev builds interactively - 
it is already annoying enough that you need to accept the license dialog 
before starting the IDE in a fresh user dir. The gesture collector 
dialog will add one additional step to this cycle, so it is desirable 
that it be possible to close the dialog (and prevent it from being 
opened again) as quickly as possible, preferably with one mnemonic 
keystroke.

By the way, the current GUI displays data in a property sheet format. 
While this may be cute, it also makes it hard to "eyeball" the entire 
set of data. A textfield containing all of the data to be sent in a 
concise format could more easily be scrolled through and inspected for 
obvious problems (passwords, company secrets, etc.).
