That's fine for KTTSD, but what about any other application that wants to 
subscribe to notifications system-wide?  The idea first surfaced here:

Actually, I think I misspoke about dcop.  Without a common sender object, I 
don't think I can receive the dcop signals. ??  If I'm not mistaken, anyone 
can listen on the dbus and as long as all notifications have some sort of 
notification flag, I should be able to filter for them.

Why just passive popups?  The fd.o spec calls for a server in order to 
coordinate notifications (so that apps don't stomp on each other's 
notifications).

"In order to ensure that multiple notifications can easily be displayed at 
once, and to provide a convenient implementation, all notifications are 
controlled by a single session-scoped service which exposes a D-BUS 
interface."
