Well, I like that idea too. But there would have to be a way to specify 
what kind of a balloon tooltip widget we want to see - pure and simply, 
looking almost like a tooltip or one with an OK (or similar) and close 
buttons, something along the lines of:

But then we would have to propagate the button clicks back to the app.
By the way, do you guys implement message handling in Gnome or just 
docking?
