Notification System

[Esben Stien <b0ef esben-stien name>]

I'm unable to find any notification system that actually notifies me. 

Playing with notification-daemon/galago proves unfruitful. It doesn't
provide the capability to display notifications when I have a fullscreen
app running, like mplayer. 

Zenity also have no way to do this. 

I've also installed gnome-osd, which actually manages to display a
notification over my running mplayer, but it disappears again. It
doesn't have any way to remain in place; probably because it doesn't
have any way to close it, since it doesn't support actions. 

So, any pointers what I can do to actually get notified?. 

..short of developing my own dbus listener daemon and firing up a gtk
window always on top..!
