fair 'nuff, so to recap, we're currently at this design then:

* OSD as a notification type in KNotify

* a "well known" OSD D-BUs interface (org.kde.osd? could eventually be 
org.freedesktop.osg ...)

* if the D-Bus interface is registered, KNotify would send OSD requests to it

* if the D-Bus interface isn't registerd, KNotify registers it and provides a 
window based OSD service

basically, this means taking Ozan's OSD kded plugin as it currently exists and 
integrating it into KNotify instead. Ozan: what do you think of that?
