The reason for this is, that e-notify uses the dbus session bus, which is always session (^= user) specific. This is by design and there is no proper way to do this any other way. In theory you could use the system bus, but e-notify implements the (future?) FDO dbus Desktop Notification Specification [1] which requires the session bus to be used. Basically this means you'll have to implement a separate system for this or use a "dispatcher" which can notify all users, though this is not really specified. Imho you shouldn't touch e-notify for this, but implement a separate system. The session bus is not supposed to be used by other users. ~thomasg [1] http://www.galago-project.org/specs/notification/0.9/index.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Better than sec?
