Hey Mirco,

I actually think the hardest part of implementing this would be the
configuration backend (I am assuming it won't be gconf because we are
trying to stay desktop-agnostic?).

1. How is the case different today? The user could have some extreme and
weird system settings that in turn would bring unexpected results. The
edge cases will remain the same.

2 & 3. IMHO, these questions could be delayed indefinitely, it is
probably a bad idea to provide a UI for these settings. But I wonder
what MPT would say.

4. For a good user experience, yes. But a highly motivated user, who
really needs this, will dig into a UI-less config backend, change
settings and log in and out as often as needed until they are happy. I
am exaggerating a bit.

Consider this: Vinux (http://vinux.org.uk) is a modified version of
Ubuntu optimized for visually impaired users. I haven't gave their ISO a
spin yet, but I imagine the default settings are high-contrast and large
fonts. When packaging notify-osd, they are going to have to look for a
visual sweet-spot that radically differs from vanilla Ubuntu. If they
could easily change this without intrusive patches it would be good.
