I'm attaching a patch that can be applied to v4.0.18 to nuke all these
methods. I'll keep this branch as "to be merged later" (probably until
mainline distros have it in their stable versions). Samuli will be
testing it for Gentoo (And applying the patch based on libnotify version
being linked against). I remember Guillaume hitting the same issue with
Debian/Ubuntu packaging in unstable/experimental branch.
