GUI elements aren't the issue.  My guess, based on the following line
taken from the Galago web page:

"To put it in simpler terms, it takes information on who is online and
their away/idle states from an instant messenger (such as gaim) or other
similar programs and lets other programs (such as Ximian's Evolution) to
make use of it. "

...is that the spec is not generic enough to support arbitrary
applications' notification.  But then, I haven't read it.
