Description
I use a watching-only wallet on my desktop and always get a notification/popup telling me it's a watching-only wallet every time I open Electrum. It's a mild inconvenience, but it would be nice to have an option to disable this.
I understand if you want to make sure the user knows what is going on, but personally it would be nice to have the option to disable these messages, or at least have the option to only display them when the wallet is first imported/opened.

Research direction
Start by tracing the notification shown when a watching-only wallet opens in Electrum's desktop interface. Determine whether the setting should suppress every reminder or only messages after the wallet's first import or opening, then verify that the selected behavior persists across reopening the wallet.
