What if, lets say, N > 50, then Growl displays a message saying "Too
many growls to display on screen. Do you want to see a list in
Textedit?" and if the user clicks the growl-popup, a list opens in
textedit where the user can see all growls.

Not a perfect solution, but just a suggestion to keep the ball
rolling.
