retitle 562224 xfce4-goodies should allow notification-daemon as alternative to xfce4-notifyd found 562224 4.6.1 notfound 562224 4.4.2.2 severity 562224 wishlist thanks
Hello, > I guess you're reporting against the lenny version but you meant > against the squeeze/unstable one? Yes. Sorry. > So that's not that problem which prevents you to install xfce4-goodies > along with gnome. Could you elaborate a bit more (and provide real > material)? Ok, you are right. It was just an issue of the upgrade path; safe-upgrade would not upgrade xfce4-goodies, because that would have require the removal of notification-daemon. > No, that's not possible.

Then please lessen the dependency to xfce4-notifyd | notification-daemon since xfce4-notifyd is currently unsatisfactory for me. Many gnome applications expect the notification-daemon to support simple HTML tags such as <b>, which they use to produce formatted messages. The resulting messages displayed by xfce4-notifyd are completely unreadable. Therefore I had to replace it with GNOMEs notification-daemon again, which forced me to uninstall xfce4-goodies. The markup seems to be part of the current notification specification: http://galago-project.org/specs/notification/0.9/x161.html which xfce4-notifyd claims to support. If indeed most/all of the applications using this fail to set some flag to indicate they are using this formatting (and gnome n-d does some automagic), bugs should be failed for the individual applications, obviously, though.
