yeah, for example
* notify me about messages from [FAVOURITES; FAMILY]
* notify me about messages from [FAMILY;]
* notify me about messages from ["type name in here..."]

that would have to be an interface.. i'd call it "Silent Mode setup dialog".
what do you think?

Perhaps Silent Mode could become something like an intelligent firewall,
that detects the name and service type of each notification NotifyOSD is
about to display and reroutes them to a notification buffer the user can
access at any time, which is then afforded e.g. in the messaging menu
shortly after Private Mode is disengaged..
