Comment 43 for bug 527458

I see the possible use of notify-osd as the replacement for indicator tooltips as a splendid idea. The content which are we now missing is obviously not the tooltip itself (that means short description what the icon does) at all, but the application's status, propagated trough the (misused) tooltips.

Pros:
- all content placed at the same, consistent place.
- bigger, well formated, easy to read
- does not mess with the cursor

Cons:
- ?

THIS could be the next great thing in Ubuntu experience (and I'm very excited about that idea).
