Those notifications usually come from a service handling events and not from unity, most of them are handled by gnome-settings-daemon nowadays. Setting as wontfix though because it doesn't seem like something the desktop team will have time to work on in the next cycle

(What I mean by "after an initial time" is this: it doesn't show it if it's connected in the first seconds of login.) What happens is that an box similar to the Unity "box-shown-when-play- is-pressed-and-banshee-isn't-running" box is shown with a keyboard icon and a message saying "Keyboard Connected." The same happens with a mouse, and it happens both for connect and disconnect. This makes things very convenient. If your Bluetooth keyboard disconnects, you immediately know about it. These features would be very handy in the next version of Ubuntu.
