A little while back I posted how I start the Fedora supplied "notification-deamon" from my .xinitrc.
Now I feel a little guilty. The "notification daemon" violates all the rules fvwm users live by. I wanted to move the notification window from the upper right corner of my screen where it covers dclock. What good is a notification of an upcoming event when you can't even see what time it is. I searched and searched and even downloaded the source code. It doesn't look like you can control anything it does. So, a kind poster on Fedora Forums set me on the right path. There's a source code only package called "dunst" that allows you to control everything an Fvwm user would want in a notification daemon. Search for it, and you will find it. The instructions for build aren't perfect but close enough that you'll figure it out. Starting it is as simple as executing "dunst". Okay, now I feel better. -- Dan Espen
