Exactly :) Case in point, I had an overhead power transformer outside my house explode over the weekend (took out the house next door) -- and my notebook happily sat there notifying me of every new song Rhythmbox decided to play. (Every 2-3 minutes) Then the Ubuntu update notifier thingy kicked in, and left a notification dialog on my screen until I explicitly moved the mouse there and cleared it. After all that, g-p-m came up and told me my UPS had < 5 minutes left. I think that means there are other places we can look for "notification spam" without crippling g-p-m's functionality.
