there are two issues here: one is appearing and the other is notification.

new applet appearing: certainly not for 4.0 and doubtful for after 4.0 since 
this effect would probably not be all that dandy in practice (think when 
there is no window covering the item, or when there is and it just fades 
away .... to where?)

we *could* do something like the zooming icon that was added to kicker in kde3 
though. 

getting attention: i'd rather have that supported by the taskbar and allow it 
to bring up the "dashboard" view, which doesn't yet exist (though we have all 
the hard bits done at this point..). so ... yeah, once again with the jumping 
ahead one step.

patches for either of the above (a moving icon to place of landing or the 
dashboard view) would be welcome, of course.
