;; This package provides an implementation of the Desktop Notifications
;; <http://developer.gnome.org/notification-spec/>.

;; In order to activate this package, you must add the following code
;; into your .emacs:
;;
;;   (require 'notifications)

;; For proper usage, Emacs must be started in an environment with an
;; active D-Bus session bus.

  "Send notification via D-Bus using the Freedesktop notification protocol.
Various PARAMS can be set:

 :title          The notification title.
 :body           The notification body text.
 :app-name       The name of the application sending the notification.
                 Default to `notifications-application-name'.
 :replaces-id    The notification ID that this notification replaces.
 :app-icon       The notification icon.
                 Default is `notifications-application-icon'.
                 Set to nil if you do not want any icon displayed.
 :actions        A list of actions in the form:
                   (KEY TITLE KEY TITLE ...)
                 where KEY and TITLE are both strings.
                 The default action (usually invoked by clicking the
                 notification) should have a key named \"default\".
                 The title can be anything, though implementations are free
                 not to display it.
 :timeout        The timeout time in milliseconds since the display
                 of the notification at which the notification should
                 automatically close.
                 If -1, the notification's expiration time is dependent
                 on the notification server's settings, and may vary for
                 the type of notification.
                 If 0, the notification never expires.
                 Default value is -1.
 :urgency        The urgency level.
                 Either `low', `normal' or `critical'.
 :action-items   Whether the TITLE of the actions is interpreted as
                 a named icon.
 :category       The type of notification this is.
 :desktop-entry  This specifies the name of the desktop filename representing
                 the calling program.
 :image-data     This is a raw data image format which describes the width,
                 height, rowstride, has alpha, bits per sample, channels and
                 image data respectively.
 :image-path     This is represented either as a URI (file:// is the
                 only URI schema supported right now) or a name
                 in a freedesktop.org-compliant icon theme.
 :sound-file     The path to a sound file to play when the notification pops up.
 :sound-name     A themable named sound from the freedesktop.org sound naming
                 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
                 notification when an action has been invoked.
 :transient      When set the server will treat the notification as transient
                 and by-pass the server's persistence capability, if it
                 should exist.
 :x              Specifies the X location on the screen that the notification
                 should point to.  The \"y\" hint must also be specified.
 :y              Specifies the Y location on the screen that the notification
                 should point to.  The \"x\" hint must also be specified.
 :on-action      Function to call when an action is invoked.
                 The notification id and the key of the action are passed
                 as arguments to the function.
 :on-close       Function to call when the notification has been closed
                 by timeout or by the user.
                 The function receive the notification id and the closing
                 reason as arguments:
                   - `expired' if the notification has expired
                   - `dismissed' if the notification was dismissed by the user
                   - `close-notification' if the notification was closed
                     by a call to CloseNotification
                   - `undefined' if the notification server hasn't provided
                     a reason

Which parameters are accepted by the notification server can be
checked via `notifications-get-capabilities'.

This function returns a notification id, an integer, which can be
used to manipulate the notification item with
`notifications-close-notification' or the `:replaces-id' argument
of another `notifications-notify' call."

  :body-hyperlinks The server supports hyperlinks in the notifications.

  :body-markup     Supports markup in the body text.
  :icon-multi      The server will render an animation of all the
