A log page seems good. We also need to highlight the changed elements in  
the web app itself. The only thing that bothers me, is that there is no  
logical link between the notification in the systray and the event log  
page. So, maybe, we're doing it wrong;

- the standalone app here is Freenet, so the user needs to be able to know  
that there is a problem with it even if the interface is not displayed. So,  
we use systray notification for events/alerts coming from Freenet itself  
(dunno if it works with remote systems though). We also add them in the log  
page (we can do like azureus (didn't use vuze, so I don't know how they do  
now), and allow the user to filter the log: freenet related log / downloads  
/ mails / ...).

- the web apps maybe don't need notifications in the systray? I mean, when  
I use gmail, except if I have it configured in a standalone app, I don't  
see when I have a new message if I don't have gmail opened (same thing goes  
for facebook, or any webapp). For those notifications, we could use the  
right part of the menu, where we show the logged in user. We could add an  
avatar, and show the notifications when clicking on it when they're hidden,  
and under it when we display them. We add a link at the bottom to the event  
log page, or when we click on a notification (much like now).

Thoughts?
