Perhaps a dialog box 'Attempting to Restore Database Connection' and an option to quit. This happens often enough that we have 'Kill Apex' utility in our Support Toolbox program on each Point of Sale machine. We didn't want users to have to delve into Task Manager and kill processes off to recover.
