I'm not sure the average user wants things dumbed down to this extent by
default.

What about if the notifications for low battery were just configurable
(we can argue about the defaults later :-) so that you only get the last
"I'm dying!" type notification -- the tooltip icon already changes it's
icon and tooltip for all the events.

Bear in mind, feedback from users has been positive about the
notifications -- I've not had one complaint or bugzilla. And wow, people
have been pretty picky about lots of other stuff. :-)
