 The current icons-only notification system is generally ineffective to fully communicate different kind of system events. This feature provides a set of extensions to the current system to display simple text messages.
-'''This feature will be use for especial events and messages communications, it is not intended to replace the current logging system and Log activity viewer.'''

 == How To Test ==
 Running this python script should work (provided by Gonzalo Odiard):
+<code><pre>
+import dbus
+BUS_NAME = 'org.freedesktop.Notifications'
+OBJ_PATH = '/org/freedesktop/Notifications'
+IFACE_NAME = 'org.freedesktop.Notifications'
+bus = dbus.SessionBus()
+notify_obj = bus.get_object(BUS_NAME,OBJ_PATH)
+notifications = dbus.Interface(notify_obj,IFACE_NAME)
+notifications.Notify("HelloWorld",0,'',"Summary","Body",[],{},-1)
+</pre></code>
+== Internet-Links in Notifications ==
+*This would help in navigating to any internet-link, by simply clicking on the link.
+*There are two cases possible ::
+** No instance of "Browse" is open. In this case, following sequence of steps happen ::
+*** User clicks on the link in the notification.
+*** "Browse" opens (in a new window, obviously) and the URL is loaded.
+** There is an instance of "Browse" already open. In this case,
+*** User clicks on the link.
+*** The window gets switched to the "Browse" window (if not already).
+*** The URL is loaded.
+*Code changes required at the client-side ::
+**If the link needs to be added, with a particular text for the hyerlink, the following code needs to be written :
+<code><pre>   frame.add_message(body='Description', summary='First Title', link='http://www.linuxquestions.org', link_text='Click here to get answers to all your Linux questions')</pre></code>
+**If no special text needs to be present for the link, we can skip the "link_text" attribute :
+<code><pre>    frame.add_message(body='Description',summary='Second Title',link='http://www.wikipedia.org')</pre></code>
