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...
