I would be fine if Quod Libet would fire a notification with play/pause toggle as soon as my phone rings, but right now phone and computer are still separate things. I guess things will improve in the future. In your rythmbox screenshot, when does that notification appear?

I've checked the report. So if I'd hide a window, how would I get it back if I need it? If I understand it correctly, it's not in the overview or the window picker. >> I imagine it would be cool if such apps could add small control >> widgets into the top bar, for example [>/|| << >>] for a music >> player. > > No. The top bar has been designed as a mostly static, system-owned [nearly empty] *scnr* > space, not a place for applications to hook into. > >> [fn:1] Do I see it correctly that GNOME3 doesn't have one?

IMO, a clipboard manager is such an important utility that there should be no need for an extension. (My 2 months GNOME3 experience has shown that those are rather flaky, so I avoid them if possible.)
