Not to hijack this thread, but that reminds me of a question I've had
for a while: why make this an option for each launcher?  You've mostly
answered it here, but it begs another: is there any drawback in
"trying" to support startup notification in an app that doesn't
support it?  I didn't know about some apps not supporting it, and I've
put it on every launcher and menu item I've ever created without
noticeable problem.  I think I'd like to request that on bugzilla,
since just having the global option seems sufficient, but since we're
talking about it here....
