i just explained why this isn't realisitic.

the difference is:

* user uses it as ...
* the code perceives it as ...

implementation and interface must cooperate at the technical level, but 
allowing implementation drive interface is really very stupid and something 
we need to get away from in general.

the USB stick plugged in window does use plasma stuff via the notifier applet. 
what's sad is that we also have this other stupid window that still pops up 
because there is no coordination between the services.

knotification popups: those are not desktop bits, those are application 
related aren't they?

kwallet: ditto.

kmag: absolutely irrelevant here.
