[Dextrose] Messages notification UI look and feel, request for help :)

[Gonzalo Odiard]

Are you planing implement all from zero, or using the standard notification
system?

If I run this code in Gnome, have a notification, but in Sugar appear a icon
but without text.

import dbus
BUS_NAME = 'org.freedesktop.Notifications'
OBJ_PATH = '/org/freedesktop/Notifications'
IFACE_NAME = 'org.freedesktop.Notifications'
bus = dbus.SessionBus()
notify_obj = bus.get_object(BUS_NAME,OBJ_PATH)
notifications = dbus.Interface(notify_obj,IFACE_NAME)
notifications.Notify("HelloWorld",0,'',"Summary","Body",[],{},-1)
