Are these notifications truly essential for LiveCD use? Would the LiveCD even load a Deskbar hosted notification replicant, when it's missing its security code attribute? I'm thinking there won't be a security code until Deskbar runs off a writable volume, no? In case the volume is write protected there could be a simple GUI alert implemented by the notification class as a fallback mechanism. Problem solved, IMO. I know they are not a silverbullet, but files and queries, would - empower- people, even non-coders, to create their own solutions, to make scripts and utilities that react to the notification of applications, like uploads/downloads/transfers/conversions/connects/ disconnects/etc. When the feature by default isn't primarily intended to always interrupt the user the possilibity appears to use the notifications for more than just "popups". It could be used to expose application state in a non-GUI way, which could be useful for all kinds of things. The application scripting that Be created isn't exactly the most user friendly. IMO, of course. /Jonas Sundström.
