Awn Notification Applet

Registered by moonbeam

Several awn applet developers have been pondering the creation of a notification apple for avant window navigator. This could be used by applets and plugins to provide notifications of important events.

Characteristics
1) Applets and plugins
2) Dbus support.
3) Some method or image transfer. possibly shared memory, files, fifo, or sockets.
4) Fully integrates awn-effects.
5) Dialog support.
6) Bling

Simple Examples:
a) Text message in a dialog for 10 seconds or till terminate message received.
b) Urgent text message in a dialog for 60 seconds or until terminate.
c) Register pixbuf, Bounce pixbuf - 5 seconds, Display pixbuf still 10 seconds, fade pixbuf.

etc.

A simple well defined protocol would be implemented which would allow use of this notification.

.Devs currently providing initial support for this idea:

moonbeam, tehk,

We are placing this up for the purposes of discussion regarding it's usefulness and implementation.
