the interesting thing about the notification widget is that it doesn't actually 
need any icon or anything. it just needs to exist. and then it can show 
notifications.

so the idea is that the notification widget behaviour is merged with the system 
tray:

the system tray icons are the user visible UI part of the widget, and the 
notifications are also handled by that same widget and it shows the 
notifications above/below/whatever the system tray, just like it currently 
shows them above/below/whatever the icon.

the idea is to prevent having to have two widgets, each taking up space, and 
coming up with a sensible icon for the notifications.
