I'm guessing noone has needed it bad enough to hack the gui source 
before. The nagios core is more or less just a harvesting program with 
capabilities of invoking certain commands when something happens, and 
some very clever logic to not send notifications if certain other 
criteria are met.

Nagios supports acknowledgements and it will store the messages for you, 
so that shouldn't be a problem.
