Hmmm, an idea ...

This kind of stuff doesn't seem to at all be a desktop specific thing, that is
I don't see it using any GUI or other stuff that would make it so.  How about
writing (or using existing knotify) for both gnome and kde?  If extra
functionality would be required a "plugin" system thatwould open per desktop
components could work out well here.

This would make sure that gnome apps running under kde and vice versa would
use the same notification schemes, and thus accessibility (which seems to be
one use for this) could be increased.
