</span>I'm not sure, iirc at a sprint earlier this year we talked about something<br>
like that, but was for all the applets that are right now in the systray(plus<br>
eventually random applets the user wants to stuff here in that sidepanel).<br>
I have tought about it since then, but never followed up on that since i can't<br>
really figure out how it may work.<br>
would it be just notifications? would it there be the other applets as well?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>For now, just notifications.

in the case of notifications, when there is none or just a couple, would there<br>
