This may be of some interest to application porters...
I've hacked over the week a bridge from libnotify (and dbus) based
notifications to Growl notifications.
- Notifications2Growl should be launched at session startup,
registers in dbus as a freedesktop notification server;
- from the application stand point, nothing change : use libnotify
to send notifications;
- notifications show up in Growl bubbles.
It's available here : http://github.com/elelay/Notifications2Growl
gPodder notification showing up in Growl
It's fairly complete (icons, click callback), lacking only what's not
available in Growl :
- multiple choices in notification
- distinguish between the user dismissing the notification and timeout
The code is based upon notification-daemon 0.4.0, available from
http://galago-project.org
Here is a screenshot taken from gPodder (pygtk quartz) on Tiger.
I hope you'll enjoy it !
