Allow me to provide another use case for this.

I'm preparing for a performance of live computer music in three days,
and my collaborator and I wanted to use send-notify to display messages
between us on my screen (which will be projected for the audience to
see). The audience will not be able to read the messages unless the text
is fairly large, but... some genius decided that the font size of a
notification should be coupled to the font size of:

- All text in panels.
- All application menu bars.
- This even trickles into the default font size of GUI windows created the 
audio software (SuperCollider).

So, either the notification text is too small to read, or the rest of
the screen looks perfectly ridiculous (and visible to the audience). I
could imagine many in the audience would come away from the performance
thinking, "Jeez, Ubuntu looks really terrible."

I know there are higher priority bugs to fix, and I know not everything
can be fixed, but I just thought I would make you aware of yet one more
user impact that this design "decision" has had.
