Yup.  I played with this a little while back, haven't had time to mess 
with it much, but I took a look at what the rhn-applet package did in RHL 
8.0 ... the rhn package mainly used python, but just extrapolated from 
that to use the c functions.  It was pretty trivial to get the image to 
show up when the nick highlight callback gets run.  Didn't get any farther 
then the leaky 20 minute hack to do that :)

Some thoughts:
o  notification per channel, or one global
o  a timer on the lifetime of the icon in the system tray?
o  switching workspaces to go directly to xchat when clicking on the 
notification
