That Rhythmbox is running is by no means a notable happening.
If you want to make a difference, get involved in the specifications
that matter. Most importantly -- _FILE BUGS_

It seems that it can't, since developers keep using the notification are

That much (about desktop-neutrality) is definitely true, Jan. That's why the
idea of building an application lister applet is a slow one, at best...
A GNOME-centric proof of concept wouldn't hurt, but it would definitely be

Mockups, eh? Well, here are a few to look at.
Firstly, I have indeed been very very slowly poking at the application
