Surprisingly there's no way to go back and edit these comments after
posting (that I can find, anyway) and my questions won't help me much if
they're hidden behind a click-through, so here they are again:

Does anyone know if:

- there's something I can manually edit to remove this dependency so I
can switch to notification-daemon and still keep ubuntu-desktop?

- there is a way to run both NotifyOSD for ubuntu-desktop and
notification-daemon for notify-send at the same time? Some way of
telling notify-send to use an alternate D-Bus channel to connect with
notification-daemon or something?

- there is some other simple command to fire simple messages that
actually works in the way I want? I don't care if these notifications
blend in seamlessly with Ubuntu's. I just want something that will pop
up, not steal focus, expire when I decide it should, yet let me manually
close it early. Bear in mind this is an extremely basic script.

This whole situation is disappointing. The beauty of the notification
spec combined with notify-send is that throwing a nice looking GUI
notification is no harder than echoing text to the console, and is just
as cross-distro. Or at least it was up until this point.
