A good solution for this very specific case is to allow applications
that have a "presentation mode" to turn off notifications once you enter
that mode. Note that evince, ooimpress, and acrobat all have different
modes for "presentation" and "full screen". They make a difference
because those two modes are different. Once leaving the presentation
mode the application should revert the notification status.

You know, if turning off the notifications was easy (is it?), that would
count as a simple papercut!
