I think I answered this question only in private mail, so I'll add my
feeling about it :

About notify-osd :
It needs composite manager to be really useful, and openbox is not a
composite manager. Also, having composite support is not really a
priority, it increases needed ressources, and support is not perfect,
especially with old hardware.

I think the standard notification-daemon will end at some point in the
ISO.

Julien Lavergne
