Stuart has a point here. I think our default behavior should be to enable new handlers found under ~/.gnome2/deskbar-applet (because if they are there it means the use just put them there, and tha means he want to try them, i guess) This will be similar to debina/ubuntu policy. When you install a daemon, then it is automatically added and started on boot. Because if you install it you likely want to use it. The bubble idea is ok, but i fear it might not give real valuable info, and just clutter libnotify area ? Maybe not, i think we have to test this ! And also integrate newstfuff manager with libmathusalem.
