Yup, this already happened with the Fedora package in rawhide (the
future F15 release) as libnotify was updated to 0.7.0 and java-gnome
won't build with that. (So I need a snapshot, rc or release which does.)

Possibly I can provide a patch myself, as the changes seem rather
trivial but it needs to be done in a way that'll still work with older
libnotify releases.

Is it ok to change the API exposed to the Java side? IIRC java-gnome
isn't declare API stable but it'd be weird to have different APIs
depending on which libnotify version it was compiled with.

I guess the simplest solution is to change the API for all java-gnome
users regardless of which libnotify it was compiled with...
