I agree with David, I would prefer to keep Idle and Corner distinct. If we finally decide to merge them, putting AZBackground and Corner makes sense, but Idle should stand alone (may be as a reusable notification related daemon) or simply be merged within System. Another option would be to merge it with SystemConfig to-be-written daemon which will also broadcast notifications.
