availability notification in gnome-packagekit for F15. So Xfce (and
LXDE) may need to come up with an alternative arrangement. I'm not sure
exactly what the libnotify support will result in, but this is
definitely something to look at. I'm CCing Richard in case he can
provide any additional details.
If XFCE and LXDE can support the persistent notifications extension to
notification-daemon then it work as well as it does in gnome-shell.
Otherwise, I think it makes sense for XFCE and LXDE to have their own
lightweight notification icon integration for PackageKit, much like
KDE has with KPackageKit. If that's something that's desired, grab me
on #PackageKit and I'll help somebody out with details. It's probably
a hundred or so lines of C, and I would even ship it in
gnome-packagekit if such a thing was contributed.
