Just a note that libnotify will land up in the development tree soonish so you might want to use that for providing notifications.

Thanks a lot for the feedback, it that kind of feedback i need to make yumex better.

I did a little googling on 'libnotify', i dont find a lot, but i sound nice, hope there will be python wrapper for libnotify.

Project page is http://www.galago-project.org/about.php. For python bindings post to the fedora-devel list (In reply to comment #0) > Description of problem: > > Great product, but it could use some small touch ups to make it seem really > professional.

I have tried to used notification by using libnotify/notification daemon, but it dont work because yumex is running as root, and you can send notification from root to the normal users notification queue :-( I the current development release all dialogs, are looked to the parrent window, so the will only take one slot in the windowbar, and it will flash when a dialog pops up. > Second, I think it would be nice if the program told me how far I was into > installing/updating/removing whatever.
