With the desktop summit only a couple of weeks away, I reckon we
should carry on considering the different possibilities and
advantages/disadvantages here and then go track down some plasma
big-shots in person at the summit and not leave them alone until we
have a solution that is satisfactory to both teams' visions of how
things should be done, and most importantly, get it implemented
straight away (including any changes to plasma or knotification that
might be decided on).

This is just the kind of problem the summit is ideal for dealing with.
