Re: [Ayatana] Gradual-awareness notifications (was Re: GSoC '10 Idea : NotifyOSD improvements)

There are some good suggestions coming in from my blog about paring back the interface. I'll forward some of them here. I didn't know about the gconf key /Apps/Metacity/General/reduced_resources but it seems like it could be generalised and exposed in appearance preferences. I think we should gen
