[Dextrose] [PATCH] Simple messages notification extension

[Martin Abente]

I have been following the parallel discussion at the sugar-devel list about
this feature and I took a nice idea from it to improve a LITTLE bit this
simplistic implementation.

Basically i just removed the messages queue from the corners and put in the
respective tray (for activities, friends and devices), so it won't take over
the corners. I think it is also a less intrusive now. There will still be a
notification pulsing icon but it will disappear after the time defined by
the notification sender.

The notification tray button will remain in the tray until the user removes
it explicitly.

Should I send the new patch here or should I create a new topic?
