Martin: it suffers from the same problem as full-screen movies. If I am 
preparing for a presentation, I can be interrupted by mom, and if I 
don't want it I can set my state to busy. If I am actually showing the 
presentation, then I certainly don't want to be interrupted by ordinary 
notifications.
