Unobtrusive notification

[Marco Canini]

Miguel is pointing out the lack in GNOME of a good notification
pattern/system.
You can read the blog entry here:

Basically I agree with him about the pain of notification windows that
pop up and get focus when it's not the case, however I think that this
notification system should be shared by other desktop environments.
IMHO fd.org should take care of handling the specification and creation
of it.
I think that tooltips ala windows are a good start point.

What do you think?
