Nope, we didn't allow other modules to have a hard dependency yet
either.  Surprisingly, no one seems to have responded to my d-d-l post
asking for opinions, comments, etc. on libnotify to see how we as a
community want to move forward on this..

Anyway, given that it's already mid-Wednesday, you might want to just
ship GNOME 2.19.1 with g-s 2.18.x.  It's not optimal, but William may
be unable to roll a new tarball on short notice.
