Comment(by kstange):

 There are a few different problems with this patch that I see:

 1) I think that individual items, being possible to select within the
 treeview, ought to have some function, or else selection should not be
 possible.  I would suggest these things (as possibilities):
  a) A dismiss button to remove an item from the list
  b) An Edit pounce button if the pounce that was triggered is recurring
  c) A Get Info or New Message button for buddies that are online.
  d) Focus the newest treeview item and scroll to it when it appears.

 2) The messages are inconsistent.  They're sentence fragments now, which
 is easily enough fixed, but they should be simple statements describing
 what happened, since the dialog does not form actual sentences.

 3) When you request a popup notification, there is a field for a message,
 which formerly appeared in the dialog box that would pop up.  This is
 missing from the new window.
