The one annoying thing about the notifications is what happens when your not at your desk. Is it possible to get the gnome-shell to "re-show" any alerts not acknowledged, like a reminder?
Or how about doing something like docky. When docky is hidden if there's something waiting there's a red transparent halo that appears at the bottom of the screen. Maybe have something similar, a transparent halo or something in the bottom corner saying something is waiting for you.
