Description
There should be a single, low cpu app that displays all the notifications for all programs in a corner of the screen (bottom right)
It should say:
[App Title]
-----------
[Notification]
It is much better than popups and notification Icons.
Eyecandy would also be nice here - fade effect, etc.

Couldn't this be easily done via dbus in Gnome?

Great idea! Just have one icon for all notifications with something creative as the icon and have all of the notifications for every app redirected there! GENIUS!
Then you click the bubble or w/e you want to call it to open it! GENIUS!

I've wanted something like this for a while. It would be great if you could expand it to show a log of all recent notifications.

We already have notification daemon that can display notification bubbles whenever needed. What you are probably missing is just the support in the apps.
Or am I missing the point here?

Its support is still growing.

You would need to make changes in every program that should use this.

This is finished. It's called libnotify.
If you want notification of discovered network services, apt-get install service-discovery-applet.

I'm thinking maybe a nice looking unified notification viewer. I already know that there apps can display notification bubbles.
This is not the same as the system notifier applet for the panel.

what about XDG-calls for this kind of notices?
That way it won't matter what notify-lib one used (if it really is that many of them).

When you get an Ubuntu update, you are notified.
Also when your printer is low on ink.
Or when you need to reboot the machine.
Is that what you mean? Or just a prettier version of that (transparency, round edges etc)?
