You know, it's open source. ;) However. You don't need to bother with the Xfce4-notifyd if you use a lightweight WM like the Openbox, so # yum --enablerepo updates-testing install dunst $ mkdir ~/.config/dunst $ cp /usr/share/dunst/dunstrc ~/.config/dunst/ Enjoy. poma -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
