I'm just working on the strings and not touching the icons yet. This is because the strings patch will go upstream and the icons/notify-osd patch should be done within Ubuntu. I'm getting close to finishing it and sending it upstream.
Ubuntu used to have it's own notify-osd patch, but Martin Pitt has disabled the notify-osd patch for GPM (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/406396) since upstream has changed how they handle notifications. The notify-osd patch needs to be rewritten, see bug #406396. Would either of you be able to work on that side of it? I took a stab at it here: bug 390669, but that patch was written against 2.27.1, I updated it to 2.27.2, and soon we will have 2.27.3.
