Not all text needs be selectable.
However, it would be useful if error messageboxes was selectable.

Oh darn, I can't copy the text off of my address bar or in the status bar of firefox.

title bar* not address bar. Of course I can copy the address bar. +1, even though there are some cases where it doesn't make sense.

I'm all for adding this to message boxes.
Ever seen a full-page crash alert that wasn't copyable?

or better, install by default NTFSFIX an start it automaticly after connecting e.g. when an unclean disconnection ocurred.
