I think the notification area is the appropriate place for something like this. Perhaps, in the future, an LIRC plugin for Elisa can handle this task. The thing to consider is that many people will run Elisa full screen and so the notification area will not be accessible. Further more, UMC may not even include a Desktop Environment and so there not _be_ a notification area.
I think you're wrong because I don't think every people have a desktop only for a media center. It will be great to have some packages and install UMC with synaptic on a desktop station. The UMC project will also improve others tools, like lirc. So we must'nt consider only UMC, because these tools are used with other apps. What do you think ?
