I really like this idea!  I don't know if there are other "pro" types
like this for growl but I had no idea that option-clicking the close
button closed them all.  I usually would just restart growl to get rid
of a bunch at once which always felt like overkill.  I think you could
work in a whole bunch of these event based notifications from growl
that tried to clue you in on better ways of doing things.

You'd need to provide a way to turn it off but why not just provide
that via the preference pane?  You could provide a list of pro tips
that activate when the right event triggers and then allow them to be
(de)activated via the preferences.

Anyway, brilliant idea.  Hope it makes it in in the next few releases!
