True, a more complex mechanism would have to be made (transparent log
window ;-)? Stefan probably is right and KNotify might be a good place
to start from, although I think it should be integrated with the
statusbar.

Nonetheless this isn't a core feature and there is still a lot to do :P
I myself am working on getting some cool new kdegraphics stuff finished
up and there is still a lot to do with Kicker, various KControl modules,
and KWin. If any of you are interested in working on any of these please
speak up - they need love and care and I am a bad father and am hacking
all sorts of various misc fun cruft ;-)
