LEDnotify is intended to light-up a USB attached LED lamp unit to alert on
events independently of your monitor being turned on.
LEDnotify will cycle around any "outstanding" alerts - if these have different
LED colour assigned, then the LED unit will display them in turn.

Alerts may also be show on the PCs monitor with either (or both) popup
messages (using bash & zenity scripts), or an Ubuntu Indicator Applet (the
icons in the "system tray". Notification messages optionally also issued.

This set of programs and scripts for alerting on various events.
These are intended to be flexible, with features selectable and configurable.

Most of the code is in Python, with some optional scripts, and a program to
drive the LED unit.

This project was started off of Dennis Schulze's dBird notifier project
- see the "A_ReadMe.txt" file.

LEDnotify monitors the dbus for event messages - these maybe issues by
applications such as:

• Thunderbird email client (employing a dbus message plugin)
• Pidgin - for Instant Messages and Buddy activity
• anything that can issue dbus messages
• anything that can run the dbus-send command (see below)

LEDnotify may also poll these for new mail/messages:

• Gmail
• Twitter (untested - see notes on dBird).
