Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu As part of its initiative to improve the usability of the Linux desktop, Canonical has made a proposal for a desktop notification system for both GNOME and KDE. Mark Shuttleworth announced the proposal on his blog earlier this week. The mockup video shows notification more or less like the 3d party Growl system for Mac OS X. Since we are talking Linux here, the meat is in the implementation details and cross-desktop compatibility.

After forking back and forth with Beryl, lots of stress with the community, and the related Xgl (also developed behind closed doors) was superseded by AIGLX.
