As I said I’m not against notification icons. I even think we need them (I can 
think of Warning icons of admins when the rendering of a page contains errors 
for example too).

But I definitely don’t agree about crowding the UI to add specific 
watch/unwatch action buttons. They should go in the menu actions.

Thanks
