It's totally trivial with CORBA, just define a cheesy little interface
like:

interface Notify {
 void notify(); // add arguments for beep, message, or whatever
};

write a .gnorba file for it, and apps can invoke the thing without knowing
which app implements it. Implement the interface in one or more programs, 
such as a panel applet.
