Quoting Simon McVittie <s...@debian.org>:
I do notice that 0.7.0 builds libnotify4, not libnotify1, so I assume you had to upgrade something else to use it; are you sure the fix couldn't have been in another package you upgraded?
I remember upgrading libnotify-bin only, so as to test using notify-send and no other intermediate tool; and yes it drags libnotify4, but as it uses DBus to talk to the notification-daemon, and awesome (in my case) acts as notification-daemon without using this lib, it should not be that important. Awesome has not been updated since a while, and i don't know which dependency could have intefered.
As you said you could not reproduce, i tested again with 0.5.0-2, and could not reproduce either (but with a machine in unstable and experimental xorg). So i'll try with a cleaner configuration (which is don't have access to at the moment) soon.
Thanks for your investigation. -- Marc Dequènes (Duck)
