Would the support for libnotify be for those applications not using
gtk.Application since it already supports sending notifications via
sendNotification. I'm using it in Terminix and it works quite well.



A search of the GTK documentation only gave me results form libnotify so 
i missed the GApplication / GNotification functionality.

The GTK developers have decided that we don't need no status icon, it 
would presumably mess up there beautiful gnome shell design.
