I tried to figure out the reason on why there should be the notification. But 
neither the commits nor the mailing list thread shed light on it.

But also for accessibility I don't really see a reason to have a notification 
when the global shortcut got triggered. Something should happen when you click 
it, e.g. Present Windows starts. Why would one want an additional feedback on 
"yo, you just activated Present Windows"?
