I'd also like to note that one of the nice features of MacOS X is the
fact that the little notification icons at least behave as though they
are integrated items in the top menubar. Perhaps the default widget
could be coaxed via an XSetting (e.g. "panel-notification-menu-active"
or something) to draw itself as a selected menuitem and fire the
widget's "popup-menu" signal when necessary?
