Gmail gets desktop notifications (if you're a Chrome user)

Just noticed this update to gmail a few minutes ago. Looks like it's a webkit feature though, and only chrome specific for the time being.<p>Check some example code here: <a href="http://www.210computing.com/google/chrome_notifications.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.210computing.com/google/chrome_notifications.html</a><p>And the draft API here: <a href="http://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/desktop-notifications/api-specification" rel="nofollow">http://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/desktop-...</a>

Interesting timing. tdfx just asked for this 8 hours ago. <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2143881" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2143881</a><p>What powerful influence!

They should have gone for growl integration on OS X, that's why I disabled it.

Does this work on Linux?
