I agree. But unlike emails (where you get lots of spam as well), you can nicely blacklist/whitelist 
desktop notifications. I suppress all of them except the one for MIDAS. This allows me to watch our 
experiment without staring on the web page all the time.

The main question here is maybe if the desktop notification should be on or off by default (for a 
fresh browser). While you always can change that via the mhttpd "Config" page, the default value is 
chosen by the system. I thought I put it to "on" so people can experience it, and then turn it off if 
they don't like. Having them off by default, most people never would notice this possibility. But I'm 
open to a discussion here.
