Well, I've recently seen a windows machine (no, I don't have this at
home ;) and must say it's rather a good feature. The window giving an
URGENT hint has a taskbar entry highlited in a different color, so it's
easily distinguishable from the others. Some X11 applications notify
users by changing the title to contain a star (*) or blink the title.
Coloring the taskbar button of the notifying window wouldn't be so bad.
