Maybe i miss sth. here, but KNotify already supports different levels of 
annoyance (logging into a file, text message, play sound, run command)

afaiu only the text message (former dialog, now VisualNotofcation protocol) is 
currently handled by the notification plasmoid, but it shouldn't be a big deal 
to watch or redirect all log files.

the sound should wake up the user and -hehehe- one can still run:
kstart --keepabove --alldesktops kdialog --error '<center><h1>Battery is 
empty</h1><h3>Plug in the AC adaptor</h3>...or the system will suspend 
soon</center>'
whenever you need mega-attention (tm)
("unfortunately" --attach'ing it to the root window does not trigger a 
globally modal state- ok: luckily ;-)


For introducing any (non user cofigurable?!) priority subsystem to 
VisualNotifications: i predict it'll likely be abused ("of course /I/ am 
important"...)
