I believe there are entire sections that document the various
notifications, but cannot recall if it's on a per-class basis (I think
it is) or a separate chapter or two.

Having said that, I'll also point you at a utility I wrote, named
"Meow", that listens in on various notifications. It may be of some
help in watching/discovering what's going on in terms of notifications
(distributed and workspace):

I usually have a Safari window open with several tabs open to the ADC
documentation pages for Cocoa and make heavy use of the ADC's "search"
field on the web pages.

Hope this helps.
