It works for me (different, smaller font) with xfce4-notifyd installed, but not without it (in the sense that stuff "spills over"). To be clear, I install xfce4-notifyd and then it works. I uninstall and it does not work *after* I restart X. Also, I don't know if this matters, but I am not using a DE, only a WM (openbox/pekwm). > BTW GNOME's *libnotify* - a *library* for sending desktop notifications > to a notification daemon and *Xfce4-notifyd* - a simple, > visually-appealing notification *daemon* for Xfce are not the same > category. :) I see: so what makes it work then when xfce4-notifyd is not installed? I have the following installed (as per yum list \*notify\*) libnotify.x86_64 0.7.5-5.fc19 notify-python.x86_64 0.1.1-23.fc19 Thanks very much!
