having to click to read the notification would fail very, very badly if it was 
the "your computer will suspend in ten seconds" notification. :)
it also forces the user to act (they probably can't know if they need to 
handle it until they've read it), so it's not a good idea in general. show it 
when it arrives, *then* hide it.

as for the rest of your ideas... i can haz mockups? :) pictures make it much 
easier to understand these things.
