Ubuntu Notification Daemons

The new notifications system in ubuntu is actually pretty slick, but having to run multiple apps to get the notifications is annoying.

Currently working on switching to an actual daemon and a gmail daemon, though python-libgmail is failing hard.

Any suggestions, post them.

About that twitter python script: you might also mention that python-twitter is a dependancy and that people should make sure they have it installed. Without it, you get this:
```
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./.twitter-notify.py", line 40, in 
    import twitter
ImportError: No module named twitter
```
Didn’t take me long to figure out, but I’m no n00b…

I changed it to show the user icon too. There’s probably a better way to do this but I don’t write much python- http://censistestimages.s3.amazonaws.com/twitter-notify.py
