There isn't a notification-area applet right now because a Gnome applet is superior for my personal use, and I wanted to start with the UI that I would want to use. Plus, the notification-area only lets youshow an icon IIRC, so it's not really an option until I have icons to show.(it's also not obvious how to create a notification-area applet...although I don't suppose the documentation could possibly be worse than that for the Gnome libraries)
I could help ya with writing the notification app. I have read about it and looked at source code. Aparently you are supposed to be able to put more than an icon there, but I assume by convention that is all that has been put there. Also both kde and gnome have session management and you could use that to restart the app.
