Huh? I pointed out in May during UDS already that you just want to hook in an applet 
that does the notifications the Ayatana way, and default the systray notifications to 
off.

It is not a 100% clear from the spec that has been written as result of those 
meetings ( https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuKarmicAyatana ), but I'm 100% sure I told 
you and other people from your team (David, Rick) that Ayatana can be done without 
upstream code changes, just adding an extra applet.
