Btw, I have a question with regard to notification-daemon: where does it pick its fonts, etc from? I would like to change this and see if there is a difference. (At least for me, the xfce4-notifyd appears to have a different font and size than with the one without it.) > 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. Never heard of this, but thanks! Actually this works (one needs to get dunst instead of notification-daemon started, thanks!!), though I do wonder about the question on fonts above.
