(Desktop) Notifications

Chromium team implemented a JavaScript API for desktop/system notifications. The API allows simple text and HTML notifications - see http://dev.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/desktop-notifications/api-specification for details.

Notification createNotification(in DOMString iconUrl, in DOMString title, in DOMString body) throws(Exception);
optional Notification createHTMLNotification(in DOMString url) throws(Exception);

This issue is to track the implementation of this interface for QtWebKit. QtWebKit can have a default implementation of this API (e.g. mapped to Qt's SystemTray API) and also a Delegate interace to let QtWebKit clients map it to more specific notification interfaces. For example on Maemo 5 this can be mapped to libnotifymm (see http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/How_to_show_notification_from_Qt_aplication_in_Maemo_5).
