Say i've got a machine with both XFCE and GNOME users. Then probably the XFCE users want notification-daemon-xfce and the gnome users notification-daemon... Uhoh :) Did you consider that situation? Ofcourse there is a general issue with dbus activation in that there is no way to set a preference for which implementation of a service you want to use... Which is not just a problem for notifications A potential solutions in debian could be a wrapper script that executes the right one, but i'll leave that as an exercise to the reader :) Sjoerd -- Measure twice, cut once. _______________________________________________ Pkg-xfce-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-xfce-devel
