Of course, there could be an implementation of this service inside Emacs. But according to the D-Bus architecture, there can be only one service using a given service name at a time; the Emacs notification daemon would need to replace the desktop's default notification daemon, which might not be desirable (except you regard Emacs as *the* desktop, aren't you?) > Thanks > Ted Best regards, Michael.
