<title>Notify</title>

    Libnotify provides an API for presenting notifications to the user.

    Notifications can be simple messages or they can allow the user to respond.

    For example, Empathy (GNOME's instant-messaging software) uses notifications to

    tell the user when he gets an instant message.  Notifications made with

    Libnotify will use the appropriate interface in the environment the application

    is running in:  in GNOME 3, notifications are displayed at the bottom of the

    screen and then put into the messaging tray, while other desktop shells may

    choose to show them differently.
