PAM-PANEL-ICON(1) General Commands Manual PAM-PANEL-ICON(1)NAME
pam-panel-icon - A notification area indicator of pam_timestamp status
SYNOPSIS
pam-panel-icon
DESCRIPTION
pam-panel-icon should be automatically started when starting an X11 desktop environment. For example, in GNOME gnome-session should be
configured to start pam-panel-icon. In a properly configured system it should never be necessary to start pam-panel-icon manually.
pam-panel-icon uses pam_timestamp_check(8) to watch the pam_timestamp timestamp status. If the pam_timestamp authorization is active,
allowing an unprivileted user to temporarily authenticate as the root user without providing a password, an icon in the notification area
of the panel is displayed. The icon allows dropping the authorization immediately.
EXIT STATUS
Ordinarily, pam-panel-icon keeps running until the X11 desktop session ends, and then returns 0. pam-panel-icon only returns with non-zero
status on unexpected error.
FILES
/sbin/pam_timestamp_check
A hard-coded location of the pam_timestamp_check executable.

I am not sure if it's implemented or not but I couldn't find at least in "edit options" under profile.
Do you think we should have a configurable option (just like other notifications) to notify when a person says "thanks" to you i.e clicking on the "thanks" button?
