libnotify in GNOME Applets

GNOME
GNOME

Rodrigo Moya has created a patch adding support for libnotify in a few GNOME applets. You can view a few screenshots showing examples in his blog here. While Rodrigo has already scrapped the trash notification, there are many places where this could be a nice enhancement in the GNOME Desktop. What do you think? What types of actions would you use/not use notifications?

Such kind of alert shouldn't occupy the desktop, it shall remain in the panel. Remember how people act on such "notifications" under windows XP.
