XFWM 4.4 addition of some sort?

Well, I noticed on the forum someone had brought up sound in XFWM
again. I started to think about what someone had said before about a
sound daemon... And looked away from it. Then something kicked me in the
face, and it should have been so obvious. All of the panel plugins are
fairly generic about notification, just allowing you to run a command.
Why not the same for XFWM? Rather than whipping up some sort of sound
daemon, or complex 'select what sound system you use' sort of thing, why
not just give the window manager the ability to execute an external
application along with the action when you press the button? And give
the users some sort of tab in the window manager settings to specify
what action to run? I personally think it's logical, but I'm no pro or
anything.
I was bored out of my mind and drew up a little curses style adaptation
to get an idea.

Anyway, Yeah.. Since the panel already does it that way.. Just a
suggestion. :D
