[Anthony McTaggart <ajmctaggart@xxxxxxxxx>]

So basically all messages *would *be unified based on the fact that it is
using whatever means the DE already has in place?  I like the idea of
passing off the display to the system. However, it still leaves the question
of which means on KDE to utilize though, correct?  SysTray or Plasmoid?

If a Plasmoid notification is designed, it will be Karmic's baby...Do you
really see these additions making it upstream?  I see it more of an add-on
for Kubuntu, since KDE is pushing their notifications system...which is
okay, but I don't know if that's a team goal to get this upstream, or if
it's more important for consistency across *buntu(s)...
