There used to be a desktop application on GNOME that handled the
views. I forget what the name is. The usage point I was mentioning is
that loki/tenali still requires me to click on a notification bubble
and use a browser to view the link. What if it was a self-contained
application with a browser within itself ? Something like what liferea
does and what pino does when you click on the bubble in notification.

Trivial nit - comics.cfg has xkdc in place of xkcd.
