I fixed the crash[1], and I fixed also handling long notification
text[2], so it works quite well on my system. I may try to fix
deprecations if someone would review and merge my patches. Personally
I prefer this project over other implementations
(mate-notification-daemon, notify-osd, xfce4-notifyd), because it
keeps unread notifications on the system tray, and it was originally
designed for GNOME fallback mode, so it would be essential to use it
also in GNOME Flashback. GNOME Shell has a built-in notification
system.
