Summary0017487: unify the display of warnings
Descriptionon canvas, scribus has multiple ways to warn the user about issues with items.

on the other side, in the preflight verifier, the warnings are shown in the same way.

in a quick try i could find:

- empty image frame (no warning canvas, only in the preflight verifier);
- an overflowing text frame has a small box in the lower right corner;
- an image frame with an invalid link has a big red cross and the file name;
- an image with low resolution has a brownish warning triangle in the lower right corner.
- item outside of the page
- i guess that there is some sort of warning, when displaying a render frame while the current scribus has not "correctly" configure the render frames and/or there is an error when rendering the frame

on the other side, an empty text frame has a different icon in the preflight verifier (and no warning on canvas)

this having been said:

- most of them are shown in the same way in the preflight verifier;
- and only the overflowing text frame has a tooltip with more information.

i suggest that if if they are the same in the preflight verfiier, then there should also be a uniform warning system on the canvas:

- with a way to get more information about the issue (like the tooltip on the overflowing text frame)
- it should allow -- in the future -- a way to silence the warning (for a specific item and warning; both on canvas and in the preflight verifier)
