I could have done that if I had the time to do it and if the libnotify maintainer *properly* announced that change in advance. Even if I did I doubt it would be possible to build against libnotify06 because libnotify will be pulled in by the massive dependency chain, will be found first and likely make builds fail. > > * Change from Nodoka to Clearlooks.

I'm not sure that's a > generally good tack to take. The black notifications were not an upstream decision but introduced in Fedora 12. And it was not decided or discussed, but simply announced, https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-desktop-list/2009-September/msg00046.html Clearlooks however was upstream, right, but as outlined in my previous mail we shouldn't have switched. We lost the consistency across 3 different DEs and large parts of the obvious uniqueness that distinguished Fedora from other distributions.
