Description:
The Desktop Notifications framework provides a standard way of doing passive pop-up notifications on the desktop. These are designed to notify the user of something without interrupting their work with a dialog box that they must close. Passive popups can automatically disappear after a short period of time. This port contains the library and a small command line client. See deskutils/notification-daemon for the daemon.
