Don't worry, Ryan. It isn't you or the tools you use. It's just a technical detail that takes some exploring to figure out :) To clarify on how notify-osd does its thing with volume control: that is a patch applied downstream, directly to daemons like gnome-power-manager and gnome-settings-manager. The reasoning is that volume control popups are notifications just like anything else, so it makes sense using the notification daemon for the purpose. It's coded defensively and happily falls back to the old way if the active notification daemon doesn't support the necessary hints which are currently unique to notify-osd (such as the usual notification-daemon or, evidently, gnome-shell). On that topic, I hope everyone here has read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotificationDevelopmentGuidelines . It's a very nice document, and the goals there line up really nicely with what's happening in GNOME Shell. It would be a real shame to see these projects duplicate each other obliviously.
