Indicator-Applet should show a list of lately Notifications, which can bring the user to do something

A nice feature would be, if you click at the Indicator-Applet it should show a list of lately Notifications, which has been displayed by notify-osd and maybe an entry to delete all the Notifications.

Maybe it could show for example
"Package updates available",
"Chris sent you a new message" (Pidgin) or
"A new Wireless Lan has been found. Would you like to connect to it?" and so on.

Notifications like "Battery full" or "Volume changed" should not show up in this list.

For example if a user clicks on the "Package updates available"-Entry the Update-Manager could be invoked.

Just to make it more understandable.

This shouldnt be a complete log of all messages displayed by notify-osd.
The list should only contain Messages, which brings the user to do something.

For Example:
"Package updates available"
Normally the user will start up the Update-Manager and update the system.
But it would be easier, if the user can click on the particular entry in the Dropdown-List and the Update-Manager pops up.

I don't know how this fits into the Ayatana design vision. I'm marking this as wishlist as a result. I urge you to discuss the idea on the ayatana list, where the design for indicators is being done.

I've always thought there should be an indicator for things like "the key" and copy dialgues..All sorts of system things that you dont care about enough to have it's own icon for each. Including, last 5-10 notifications. The SystemMenu could be in the same concept as the SoundMenu and MessagingMenu.
