 Replying to [comment:14 axeld]:

 superfluous at one side (vs. just using a BMessage), and unnecessarily
 inflexible at the other side.

 as a notification (using the replicant mechanism)? I think limiting that
 to an icon and some plain text is very limiting for no good reason.

 That sounds good but I don't want people to mess up with the style of a
 notification window. Probably, a notification should always have a title,
 an icon and a content as specified by the BNotification setters, and have
 one or more optional BViews added after the content message using
 BNotification::AddChild.

 Then the notification_server might create NotificationViews using layouts
 (and probably the option to set the title above the icon or all the text
 right of icon should go away having a layout with an icon and all text and
 views right of it).

 Going to look how GNOME does with notifications since I've seen an update
 notification using an icon a text and a button...
