 You might want to have a look at KDE's KNotify, which seems to be more or 
less what you're suggesting for GNOME. You can see it in Settings/Configure 
notifications e.g. in Konsole or Kopete, relevant sources are:
 kdelibs/kdecore/knotifyclient.*
 kdelibs/arts/knotify/
 kdebase/kcontrol/knotify/

 If there's some event, it's sent using DCOP to the knotify daemon, it finds 
out if and how the user should be informed and does so.

 There can be hundreds of these.
