Description

Currently tutorial and statistics collection popups are blocking fman UI. Would be nice if those messages would be displayed in non blocking way, e.g. as Firefox does displaying information on bottom of screen:
refresh-notification-after-firefox-nigthly-reinstall

Research direction

Start by locating the code that displays the tutorial and statistics-collection popups, then read how those messages currently block the fman UI. Compare the existing behavior with the linked Firefox notification example. Done means both messages are presented non-blockingly while the file manager remains usable.
