I've used all three options of the display alert ...message ... as critical/informational/warning but I cannot see any difference between critical and informational. warning displays a yellow triangle overlaid by the application icon, but I presumed that critical would show something special

any clues? Is it documented somewhere?

Believe it or not, this is by design. The old "stop" icon is not supposed to be used in Mac OS X -- see <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/OSXHIGuidelines/XHIGWindows/chapter_17_section_6.html>. The "critical" setting persists for historical reasons -- namely, it was supported in Mac OS 9, and old source has to continue to compile.
