Title: Non-blocking notification dialog

With current notification dialog, typed text can be dropped (especially when not looking at the screen), which leads to disruption and mistakes. But we can do better, here's the new notification dialog:

...it's dismissed by a small mouse movement or by any key; it opens up again after 1 minute of inactivity. Here, a single event is blocked so even if it disrupts work it's easier to get on track. You can click the notification (the one on the bottom) to re-show the dialog immediately. The look is customizable in ```stylesheet.css```.

Suggestion was inspired by this [mockup](https://live.gnome.org/Design/Apps/Potential/BreakTimer) by Allan Day.
