;; This package provides an implementation of the Desktop Notifications
-;; <http://www.galago-project.org/specs/notification/>.
+;; <http://developer.gnome.org/notification-spec/>.
;; In order to activate this package, you must add the following code
;; into your .emacs:
;;
;; (require 'notifications)
-;;; Code:
-(eval-when-compile
- (require 'cl))
-
-;; Pacify byte-compiler. D-Bus support in the Emacs core can be
-;; disabled with configuration option "--without-dbus". Declare used
-;; subroutines and variables of `dbus' therefore.
-(declare-function dbus-call-method "dbusbind.c")
-(declare-function dbus-register-signal "dbusbind.c")
+;; For proper usage, Emacs must be started in an environment with an
+;; active D-Bus session bus.

Various PARAMS can be set:

Default value is -1.
:urgency The urgency level.
Either `low', `normal' or `critical'.

the calling program.

specification to play when the notification pops up.
Similar to icon-name,only for sounds. An example would
be \"message-new-instant\".
:suppress-sound Causes the server to suppress playing any sounds, if it has
that ability.
+ :resident When set the server will not automatically remove the

+ :transient When set the server will treat the notification as transient

should point to. The \"y\" hint must also be specified.
:y Specifies the Y location on the screen that the notification
