Eli is entirely right, and so are you. In interaction design, our intentions 
count for very little.

The icon is not obviously a button, and even if it were, a wrong-entrance 
traffic sign doesn't say 'suppress warning'.

The context and positioning of the icon are more those of a bullet, which is 
not generally considered a target for interaction. But having an inert bullet 
or other conspicuous marker there does make sense, because it marks the start 
of a warning and makes the buffer easier to read at a glance.

A button for disabling is useful, but it should be clear what it does, and it 
probably makes more sense to put it at the end of the entry. (Space is not a 
concern there, so let's not use words rather than a symbol.)

This suggests that something like

  * Warning: beware of the leopard!  [Disable]

would probably work better. Here is a tentative patch.
