Hmm, I totally understand the intent of adding the icon to make the layout consistent \
for all notifications. I do think two proper layout designs, one with icon and one \
without, may be the best way to handle it. Yes, it would introduce a potential visual \
inconsistency, but no more inconsistency than the semantics of the notification \
content. But, if it's a choice betweeen this patch and doing nothing, I'll take this \
patch. :-)
