I like this.

In a comment to my blog about this topic, Aaron suggested to use 
org.freedesktop.Akonadi.VisualNotifications since there are people working on 
a fdo spec using a similar name and we could probably switch to this once 
there are implementations available.

So maybe we should split the two problem domains, i.e. one interface for the 
window context and one for the notifications and let the tray app implement 
both.

Cheers,
Kevin
