I just sent the gmail team a suggestion saying exactly that. I'm fine with losing my plugin for firefox if they'll give me something else that will work for me.
Probably the best way to get them to hurry on the development (it seems they're talking about hoping to have notifiers for other OSs soon) is to have people saying "Hey, I use <insert OS>, give me a notifier that works for me, please!" If they know people will use them, they'll probably make them.
