Application Bucket(AppStasher)

 

With the coming of Notify-OSD and soon to come Windicators the only function
of Notification area left is Minimize to Tray A.K.A T3(Trash The
Toolbars),Which IMO is worst thing ever thought by mankind(note:Not the
Minimize to Tray concept but putting the icons in Toolbars without my
permission and cluttering the toolbar with it) but we still need somewhere
to hide the apps,So why not replace it with something new and Innovative?And
the Idea of an Application Bucket or App Stasher came to my mind.
(Not needed on Unity as it has a Dock/Launcher)

I imagine it to be an Applet residing in the panel when user clicks the
Applet a drawer pops out and user can drag the application and stash it
there,When the app needs indication a notify-osd bubble pops up(suggested by
me) or the drawer button blinks and rapidly changes to the application's
icon(suggested by Sense Hofstede).

Now what needed is some feedback and some pretty mockups
