To elaborate more on this comment, there is another con for Tk compared to notify-send, is that when the notification message is send using Tk, it takes the focus of the mouse (depending on window manager setting maybe?) which I found annoying, that was another reason for me to switch to notify-send. I think many distros use the libnotify now, right ? When I was switching to notify-send instead of Tk, I was hoping to be able to do something like namazTime (it was posted here few months ago), namazTime looks very nice, but the problem is that it is in C, and it seems to use libitl directly instead of being a front-end for ipraytime, so I found that I will need two configuration files: one for ipraytime (as I use ireminder for linux console) and one for namazTime. If notify-send is to be used, the following field would be added to the Debian package control file: Suggests: libnotify-bin The reason that it is Suggests: not Depends: is because in the script I made, I check for existance of notify-send before using it.
