Comment 5 for bug 660132

@battmanux - I had a look at your patch, and like the way it provides some feedback to the user. I don't think the video window tab is the best place for the notifications though.
We are almost ready to release 1.4.3, so what I suggest is we hold this over to v1.5, which will be our GTK3 version. Then we can find somewhere more visible to put the notifications, as the GTK3 port involves plenty of gui changes anyway.
