Somewhat. There's libnotify and the Desktop Notification Spec. http://trac.galago-project.org/wiki/DesktopNotifications http://galago-project.org/specs/notification/index.php http://galago-project.org/downloads.php Unfortunately, its not too widely implemented, and the spec is not too comprehensive either. But, it does provide a lot more flexiblity than the systray spec in that it does not restrict you to single icons in a row and of course, it throws out the ugly sub-windowing for actual images (with alpha) and text. > > Basically, it would be nice if we could, maybe extend the IBox so each > minimized application can send notifications.

Applications shouldnt have to be minimized to send notifications. In fact, applications shouldn't need to have a window open to send notifications. > > These are just my thoughts, dunno if they're good. Waiting to hear your > opinions.
