At the moment, I think we should suppress non-critical notifications
(but still show critical ones), and we should not move them between
monitors.

We are running a debug period in karmic where notifications have their
urgency ("critical", "medium" etc) displayed so we can spot offending
apps that take their own notifications too seriously and apply a
consistent policy to urgency across all the apps in main (and hopefully
universe).
