notifications, again :D

[Marco Martin]

howdy all,
so, based on both ersonal experience and feedbacks i'm of course stilkl not 
happy on how notifications work, that's the pretty hard question of being 
informative enough, vs not entirely cover the screen.
last thing i was thinking about was something that resembles rssnow:
http://imagebin.ca/view/fiFONCc.html
this would resemble the pattern of the appletbrowser, search and launch and 
possibly other stuff in the future.

-only one notification is shown at a time
-still valid notifications scrolls automatically or after arrows press, like 
rssnow
bottom arrow would switch from valid to recent expired notifications

other options would be:
-something similar but with vertical scrolling
-leave as is now, but just displaying 2-3 otifications at a time, throwing 
away everything  older (simpler ui, but loses significant informations)

now, for the technical standpoint, this would mean:
all notifications in a single extenderitem?
or, would be nice to do a reimplementation of an extendergroup with scrolling 
members, the problem is that members are actually children of the extender, so 
no real relations between items and their group.

this could suggest a change in how extenders work, so actually putting 
extenderitems in sublayouts of the extendergroups. not sure if would be 
actually a good things but would make possible groups of groups, ugly but at 
least the api wouldn't lie anymore.

opinions? comments?
would like to hear some feedback before implementing anything since each 
solution would lead to a different total screwing of the current 
implementation :p

Cheers,
Marco Martin
