[Bug 65656] zenity does not display libnotify message bubble

[Jonathon Conte]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: zenity

I'm running the i386 flavor of Edgy Eft beta and have zenity version
2.16.1-0ubuntu1 installed. According to GNOME bug #329989[1], support
for libnotify is supposed to be present in zenity 2.16. However, it does
not appear to be working correctly in Edgy. I'm not sure if the problem
lies in zenity, libnotify (this may be related to bug #65012) or both
but here is the output that I get from zenity when trying to make the
notification bubble appear:

jconte at kunto:~ $ zenity --notification --listen
message: libnotify support not working

(zenity:1885): libnotify-CRITICAL **:
notify_notification_new_with_status_icon: assertion `status_icon ==
NULL' failed

(zenity:1885): libnotify-CRITICAL **: notify_notification_show:
assertion `notification != NULL' failed

(zenity:1885): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion
`G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
