Description:
  Up to 11.0, powersave-notify provided desktop neutral notification.
  Since 11.1, there is no way, how daemons can notify desktop users about
  fatal issues.
  Examples:
  smartd needs to notify about dying disc
  nut and apcupsd need to notify about failing power (hal power
  management cannot be used yet, as many UPS devices are not auto-
  detectable, hal static-config-based prober does not exist yet, nut-hal
  supports ony HID devices and apcupsd has no hal connector at all).

  This should be added to a bakend like the HAL database so that desktop
  applets can catch the information and show them to the user. We already
  have something like this for "defective batteries" gnome-power-managar
  shows to the user.

  Virtual console may be another way to implement it:
  http://gxconsole.sourceforge.net/
  But such simple implementation does not allow i18n.

  Please reject for now, but I like the idea of the common desktop
  initiative.
