Don't forget that Chrome considers the “application” to be the web page, 
whereas Growl considers it to be Chrome.

On the API side, we should enable applications to specify a “subject” for the 
notification, both as a string for only the application to care about and as a 
human-readable string to display.

This enables two additional options:

- Disable [notification name] notifications from [application name] for 
[subject]
  (“Disable ‘Contact signs off’ notifications from Adium for ‘Artie 
MacStrawman’”)
- Disable all notifications from [application name] for [subject]
  (“Disable all notifications from Adium for ‘Artie MacStrawman’”)

Chrome could use “Web page title (URL)” (e.g., “Gmail 
(https://mail.google.com/)”) for its subject display strings, and the URL by 
itself for the actual subject string.

Naturally, we'll need to come up with a way to list these and let the user 
remove them in the Growl preferences pane.

It will, of course, be up to the application to specify a subject. These menu 
items shouldn't appear when the application does not (as all current versions 
of all current Growl-supporting applications do not).

I think that a gear button that appears in the lower-left corner of the 
notification on mouse-over would be acceptable.
