The Ager thread is responsible for aging notifications for an appropriate amount of time so that intermediate file system modifications are not unnecessarily processed by the Workplace Shell. For example, removing the possibility of a short-lived, application generated file from appearing and then immediately disappearing from the view of an open folder. When a notification has aged appropriately, the Ager thread notifies the Object thread that a notification is ready. The actual processing of the notification takes place from the Object thread, upon receiving such notification.
