yes, i understand we're talking about pixel formats.

certainly not all image data in the world in argb32, no. the real question is: 
Can we reasonably require that all image data used with notifications to be 
argb32?

just because we know there are other pixel formats out there doesn't mean 
we'll actually see them or need them.

at least in plasma, we'll always be loading them into an argb32 pixel format. 
having symmetry on both sides of the wire makes sense to me. let the client 
side, which is sourcing the image data, put it in the correct pixel format.
