Introduction to the Xfce4 Notification Daemon
The Xfce4 Notification Daemon is a
small program that implements the "server-side" portion of the
Freedesktop desktop notifications specification. Applications that
wish to pop up a notification bubble in a standard way can use
Xfce4-Notifyd to do so by sending
standard messages over D-Bus using
the org.freedesktop.Notifications interface.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-10.1
platform.
