When we are speaking about support of "old-style" UNIX communication
support, I would like to see "write daemon" in default session -
something which will open a pty and wait for incoming messages (and
being able to translate some of them).

Otherwise pure GNOME user without any terminal opened will loose UPS
power failure alert or report about incoming reboot or fatal failure
reports from syslogd.
