I like this.

In a comment to my blog about this topic, Aaron suggested to use=20
org.freedesktop.Akonadi.VisualNotifications since there are people working =
on=20
a fdo spec using a similar name and we could probably switch to this once=20
there are implementations available.

So maybe we should split the two problem domains, i.e. one interface for th=
e=20
window context and one for the notifications and let the tray app implement=
=20
both.

Cheers,
Kevin
