Maybe i miss sth. here, but KNotify already supports different levels of
annoyance (logging into a file, text message, play sound, run command)
afaiu only the text message (former dialog, now VisualNotofcation protocol) is
currently handled by the notification plasmoid, but it shouldn't be a big deal
to watch or redirect all log files.
the sound should wake up the user and -hehehe- one can still run:
kstart --keepabove --alldesktops kdialog --error '<center><h1>Battery is
empty</h1><h3>Plug in the AC adaptor</h3>...or the system will suspend
soon</center>'
whenever you need mega-attention (tm)
("unfortunately" --attach'ing it to the root window does not trigger a
globally modal state- ok: luckily ;-)
For introducing any (non user cofigurable?!) priority subsystem to
VisualNotifications: i predict it'll likely be abused ("of course /I/ am
important"...)
