Wow. Looks like a real styleguide now.

|Do not add controls to notification. Thomas: I would remove this. Adding 
action buttons is allowed in the API and has reasonable use cases, other 
controls simply cannot be added technically)
We talked about this recently. David: "As the developer of the app, you can't 
add controls to the notification system." but the last ticket contains some 
strange buttons. Do we talk about the same issue? 

|Do not override system settings. (remark: more specific) Thomas: Which 
settings do you mean here?
First of all, time until the panel fades out, and behaviour on mouse over. 
Depends on what Qt allows. I have only experience with Freepascal and you can 
influence a lot there. Maybe I should to learn Qt now.

In all cases when developers can decide between alternatives we should provide 
a reference. IMHO the dos and don'ts of notifications are not really stunning 
yet, and barely helpful in difficult situaltions.On the other hand, if just the 
text can be specified, we remove the unusual points and go ahead.

I would recommend to apply the structure with purpose, examples, guidelines, 
and code for all pages.
