You are being too subtle for me here perhaps, unless perhaps you think I'm 
acting as a sock puppet for Aaron Seigo (since I referenced his mail in my 
previous message).  Let me assure you I am nobody's sock puppet and speak 
for no one.
  

Hey, sorry, I think I misread you when you said:

another community developer (I'll thank him by name 
after it works) is working on getting KDE trunk

Anyway.

I do hope we can have a positive discussion here about how best to serve 
Kubuntu users that use applications that drive notify-osd notifications.  
Given the absolute dependence of notify-osd on the indicator (I see it with 
a number of names and I'm not sure which is the current, correct term), it 
seemed reasonable to start the discussion with that.
  

Right. The indicator is actually made of 3 parts:
 * indicator-applet, which is a gnome-panel compatible shell hosting...
 * ... the indicator-applet, which is the actual indicator
 * and libindicate which is the client side library made to simplify the application developers life (well, provided you're a Gnome application developer for the moment that is...)

What we need to discuss is which part we need to develop for the KDE desktop, which one we can re-use on KDE, which one we can share between Gnome and KDE.
